Nonporous dPTFE suture material. Monofilament, soft and pliable. This material pases through tissues easily. As plaque does not adhere t the PTFE there is little tissue reaction and infection. A black rounf body taper cut needle is attached to the thread giving good visibility when suturing and leaves a small non tearing puncture mark. Patients are more comfortable as there is no hard knot and the suture thread flexibility does not bite into the soft tisssues. This material should be removed in 7-12 days
