Medtronic Surgipro II Non-Absorbable Polypropylene Sutures

Medtronic Surgipro II Non-Absorbable Polypropylene Sutures are sterile, monofilament sutures designed for long-term soft tissue approximation and ligation. Made from high-purity isotactic crystalline polypropylene and polyethylene, these sutures offer excellent tensile strength, minimal tissue reactivity, and smooth handling for consistent performance in delicate and high-tension surgical environments.

Overview

Surgipro II sutures are intended for use in general soft tissue approximation and ligation, including cardiovascular, ophthalmic, and neurological procedures. Their monofilament design reduces tissue drag and the risk of infection, while maintaining high tensile strength over time. With a wide range of suture sizes, lengths, needle types, and packaging configurations, Surgipro II meets the demands of modern surgical practice.
