• needle-thread-combination • precut lengths
THREAD DIAMETER:

CHEMICAL NAME:
polyethylene terephthalate – polyester fibre
The fibres are produced by the dry spinning method. The stretched, slightly twisted fibre bundles are then formed into a suture by precision-braiding and tempering. The fibre is hydrophobic, i.e. it does not absorb water.
The material is coloured with a physiologically safe dye.
