This MERSILENE™ Polyester Fibre Surgical Ligature, product code EH6853H, is designed for secure vessel ligation and soft tissue control where permanent tensile strength and dependable knot security are required. Manufactured from braided non-absorbable polyester fibre, MERSILENE™ provides long-term wound support with minimal elongation and excellent handling characteristics.

The USP 3-0 diameter delivers reliable tensile performance suitable for small to medium vessel ligation and general soft tissue management. The green braided construction enhances intraoperative visibility while maintaining flexibility and consistent knot tying performance.

This configuration includes 3 pre-cut strands of 45 cm per unit, supplied needleless in SUTUPAK format. The needleless design allows clinicians to select and attach a separate needle if required or use directly as ligature ties, supporting efficiency and adaptability in a range of surgical procedures.

Sterilised using cobalt irradiation and supplied sterile, this non-absorbable material retains tensile strength indefinitely and is intended for situations requiring extended or permanent support. Supplied in a box of 36, this product is suitable for professional surgical environments demanding durable non-absorbable ligature material.
