This MERSILENE™ Polyester Fibre Surgical Suture, product code R730H, is engineered for secure soft tissue approximation where permanent tensile strength and dependable knot security are required. Manufactured from braided non-absorbable polyester fibre, MERSILENE™ delivers long-term wound support with minimal elongation and excellent handling characteristics.

The USP 5-0 diameter provides fine tensile control suitable for delicate dermal and soft tissue closure. The green braided construction enhances intraoperative visibility while maintaining flexibility and consistent knot tying performance.

Each suture features a 45 cm strand length, supporting controlled handling within standard operative fields. Supplied with a 17 mm reverse cutting needle manufactured from 4310 alloy, this configuration positions the cutting edge on the outer curvature to reduce tissue cut-through while enabling precise penetration through skin and tougher tissue layers.

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 demanding durable non-absorbable closure performance.
