This MERSILENE™ Polyester Fibre Surgical Suture, product code F2503, is engineered for secure soft tissue approximation where permanent tensile strength and dependable knot security are required. Manufactured from braided polyethylene terephthalate (polyester), MERSILENE™ delivers long-term wound support with minimal elongation and consistent handling characteristics.

The USP 2-0 diameter provides reliable tensile performance suitable for moderate soft tissue closure in areas requiring enhanced strength. The green braided construction improves 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 an FS-1 reverse cutting needle, this configuration supports precise penetration through tougher soft tissues, enabling controlled cutting performance and secure approximation.

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.
