This MERSILENE™ Polyester Fibre Surgical Suture, product code FR844, 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 1 diameter provides 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 an MH taper point needle, this configuration enables smooth, atraumatic penetration through soft tissue without cutting fibres, supporting controlled wound edge approximation.

As a non-absorbable 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.
