This MERSILENE™ Polyester Fibre Surgical Suture, product code R964H, is designed 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 2-0 diameter delivers enhanced tensile performance suitable for general soft tissue closure and moderate to high-tension applications. The green braided construction improves 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 26 mm V-7 tapercut needle manufactured from high-strength alloy, this configuration combines a tapered body with a cutting tip, enabling smooth passage through soft tissue while allowing controlled penetration into denser or fibrous structures.

As a non-absorbable material, 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.
