Meril FILAPROP Polypropylene Sutures, are a superior choice for non-absorbable surgical sutures. These monofilament sutures are composed of an isotactic crystalline stereoisomer of polypropylene, a synthetic linear polyolefin, ensuring optimal performance and reliability.

Benefits & Applications:

• Minimal Inflammatory Reaction: FILAPROP™ Polypropylene sutures elicit a minimal inflammatory reaction in tissues, promoting faster healing and reducing discomfort for patients.
• Non-Absorbable and Biologically Inert: These sutures are neither absorbed nor weakened by tissue enzymes, making them ideal for use in wounds where a low suture reaction is desired. Their biologically inert nature ensures long-lasting support without adverse effects.
• Ideal for Infected or Contaminated Wounds: FILAPROP™ Polypropylene sutures are successfully employed in surgical wounds that may become infected or contaminated. They minimize the risk of sinus formation and suture extrusion, providing a secure closure in challenging situations.
• Excellent Pull-Out Performance: Due to their lower adherence to tissue, these sutures offer efficient pull-out resistance, preventing accidental dislodgement and ensuring enhanced wound stability.
