This MERSILENE® Polyester Fibre Surgical Ligature, product code EH6888E, 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 heavy USP 3 diameter delivers substantial tensile performance suitable for large vessel ligation and high-tension soft tissue management. The green braided construction enhances intraoperative visibility while maintaining flexibility and consistent knot tying performance.

This configuration includes 2 pre-cut strands of 70 cm per unit, supplied needleless in SUTUPAK format. The needleless design allows clinicians to attach a separate needle if required or use directly as ligature ties, supporting efficiency and adaptability across demanding surgical procedures.

As a non-absorbable material, MERSILENE® retains tensile strength indefinitely and is intended for situations requiring extended or permanent support. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 24, this product is suitable for professional surgical environments requiring durable, high-strength non-absorbable ligature material.
