DURACARE - POLYPROPYLENE SUTURE

Duracare is the brand name of polypropylene sutures manufactured by Dolphin Sutures. Polypropylene sutures are monofilament sutures of an isotactic crystalline stereoisomer of polypropylene, a synthetic linear polyolefin. Polypropylene sutures are non-absorbable and provide permanent wound support.

Polypropylene sutures are blue colored for easy identification during surgery. Polypropylene sutures have excellent tensile strength and are used for orthopaedic, plastic and micro surgeries, general closure and cardiovascular surgeries. Polypropylene sutures are popularly known as Prolene sutures.

Polypropylene sutures elicit minimal tissue reaction and do not cause tissue rupture or support infection. Polypropylene sutures are available in blue colour.

Features
- Polypropylene suture is a monofilament and synthetic non-absorbable suture.
- Monofilament Polypropylene sutures are available from U.S.P. size 2 to size 5-0 for general surgery. Suture is available in blue colour.
- Polypropylene sutures are composed of polymers made from 100% homo polymer of polypropylene.
- Polypropylene sutures are used for permanent fixtures, cardiovascular surgery and plastic surgery.
Advantages
- Duracare sutures pass through tissues easily and knotting is very easy.
- Duracare sutures exhibit very less tissue adherence.
- Duracare sutures are inert and tissue reaction is almost negligible.
- Duracare sutures have good knot security and easy knot placement.
- Duracare sutures are available with needles made from 300 series alloy steel for superior strength, sharpness and performance.
- Duracare sutures have excellent tensile strength and the suture does not elongate while knotting, which is ideal for knot security.
