6K04 Suture Gore-Tex CV-6 24" TTC-13 (Expired)

The GORE-TEX Suture is a microporous, monofilament suture of flexible biomaterial for excellent handling, reduced hole-leakage, and minimal irritation in soft tissue approximation.

Physicians depend on GORE-TEX Sutures for numerous practical features and benefits:

• Smart Design: High-visibility, monofilament suture features polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) biomaterial with microstructure, combined with strong and ductile 300 Series stainless steel alloy needles (tapered or piercing)
• Blood Loss: Needles approximate thread diameter, allowing suture to fill needle hole, reducing bleeding and time to hemostasis
• Precise Control: Minimal surface friction allows individual throws to slide easily for precise knot positioning
• Ease of Use: Soft, flexible, and compressible sutures that are simple to identify, open, and arm without snagging or knotting of the thread

Compared to other monofilament sutures, the soft, flexible surface of the GORE-TEX Suture results in softer knots when placed in subcutaneous tissue. This makes our suture suitable for procedures that include but are not limited to:

• Anastomosis of vascular grafts for vascular access
• Anastomosis of vascular grafts for peripheral vascular disease
• Anastomosis of aortobifemoral vascular grafts
• Chordae tendineae repair and replacement in mitral valve repair
• Carotid endarterectomy
• Laparoscopic ventral hernia repair
• Open inguinal hernia repair
• Robotic surgery
