This MERSILENE™ Polyester Fibre Surgical Ligature, product code EH6887H, is designed for secure vessel ligation and soft tissue control where permanent tensile strength and dependable knot security are required. Manufactured from braided polyethylene terephthalate (polyester), MERSILENE™ provides long-term wound support with minimal elongation and excellent handling characteristics.

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

Each ligature features a 70 cm strand length and is supplied needleless (sans aiguille), allowing clinicians to cut to required lengths and attach a separate needle if preferred. This configuration supports versatility across a wide range of surgical procedures requiring durable non-absorbable material.

As a non-resorbable 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 36, this product is suitable for professional surgical environments demanding reliable non-absorbable ligature performance.
