This MERSILENE™ Polyester Fibre Surgical Suture, product code F1533H, is engineered for secure soft tissue approximation 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 0 diameter delivers substantial tensile performance suitable for moderate to high-tension soft tissue closure. The green braided construction enhances intraoperative visibility while maintaining flexibility and consistent knot tying performance.

Each suture features a 75 cm strand length, offering extended working reach within standard operative fields. Supplied with a 31 mm MH-1 taper point needle, this configuration enables smooth tissue penetration without cutting, supporting controlled, atraumatic passage through deeper soft tissue layers.

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 durable non-absorbable closure performance.
