This MERSILENE® Polyester Fibre Surgical Ligature, product code L153, is designed for secure vessel ligation and soft tissue control where permanent tensile strength and dependable knot security are required. Manufactured from non-absorbable braided polyester fibre, MERSILENE® provides long-term wound support with minimal elongation and excellent handling characteristics.

The USP 2-0 diameter delivers enhanced tensile performance suitable for medium vessel ligation and higher-tension soft tissue management. The green braided construction improves intraoperative visibility while maintaining flexibility and consistent knot tying performance.

Each ligature features an extended 250 cm strand length and is supplied needleless in LIGAPAK format, allowing clinicians to cut to required lengths and attach a separate needle where preferred. This configuration supports versatility across a wide range of surgical procedures requiring durable non-absorbable material.

As a non-absorbable suture, MERSILENE® retains tensile strength indefinitely and is intended for procedures requiring permanent or extended wound support. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 12, this product is suitable for professional surgical environments demanding reliable non-absorbable ligature performance.
