This MERSILENE™ Polyester Fibre Surgical Suture, product code F2516, 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 consistent handling characteristics.

The USP 1 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 predictable knot tying performance.

Each suture features a 75 cm strand length, offering extended working reach within standard operative fields. Supplied with a CP-2 reverse cutting needle, this configuration enables controlled penetration through tougher tissues, supporting precise wound edge approximation and cutting efficiency.

As a non-resorbable suture, MERSILENE™ retains tensile strength indefinitely and is indicated 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.
