Polypropylene (PP) monofilament

Polypropylene suture is a synthetic, monofilament sterile non-absorbable suture material. Polypropylene has very high tensile strength and flexibility. It causes only minimal tissue reactivity. Its pliability and smooth surface allow for less tissue trauma. Polypropylene suture material is supplied with atraumatic needles and in the form of ligatures.
