TEVDEK®SUTURE (BRAIDED)

AT A GLANCE

  • Polyester suture exhibits easy handling and outstanding tensile strength
  • Heavy PTFE coating
  • Suture can be custom configured to your application

Characteristics:Tevdek®Suture, with a heavy PTFE coating, exhibits easy handling, outstanding tensile strength, lubricity, and a reduced risk of wicking and tissue reactivity. Knots slide smoothly.

Material:Polyester (PET)

Construction:Braided (Note: size 8-0 suture is twisted.)

Coating:The heavy PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) coating helps reduce the “dead space” in the braid rendering the suture material virtually inert, and lowers the risk of wicking and tissue reactivity.

Indications:Tevdek®Suture is indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, including use in cardiovascular, ophthalmic, orthopedic, and neurological procedures.
