This MERSILENE™ Polyester Fibre Surgical Ligature, product code EH6858H, 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 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 3 pre-cut strands of 45 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.

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