Non-Absorbable Sutures

Non-Absorbable Sutures

RTMED specializes in producing various non-absorbable sutures, including Nylon, Silk, Polyester (PET), PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene), and UHMWPE (Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene) sutures. These sutures are designed for long-term tissue support, as they are not absorbed by the body. Non-absorbable sutures remain in place for several weeks or months, making them ideal for cases where stitches need to be removed later. They are commonly used to hold wounds closed or to reinforce tissue, preventing tearing under tension. These sutures are known for their high strength, allowing them to withstand significant tension while providing excellent suture performance.

FAQs
How long do non-absorbable sutures last?
Non-absorbable sutures can remain in place indefinitely if not removed. In surgeries, they are often used for skin closure, offering better cosmetic outcomes due to lower immune reactions. They are also more affordable and easier to remove.
Yes, if used for internal procedures, non-absorbable sutures will remain permanently in place.
They are used for wounds requiring long-term healing. Depending on the material, they can be permanent or degrade slowly, retaining strength for 300 days or more.
Polypropylene (Prolene) is a strong, non-absorbable monofilament that offers excellent wound security and low reactivity, comparable to nylon.
If left in place too long, they may leave skin marks or lead to scarring, and the sutures may become more difficult to remove.
