Atlas's Polyester suture is a non-absorbable, braided, sterile surgical suture composed of Poly (ethylene terephthalate). It is prepared from fibers of high molecular weight, long-chain, linear polyesters having recurrent aromatic rings as an integral component. The suture is uniformly coated with polybutylene or poly {oxy-1, butanediyloxy (1,6-dioxo-1,6 hexanediyl)}. This highly adherent coating acts as a lubricant, enhancing the handling qualities of the suture. NEOBOND Suture is braided for optimal handling properties and dyed green for enhanced visibility.
