CHARACTERISTICS: A non-absorbable monofilament made of high quality steep stainless-steel wire. It ensures fabric-bond strength. It easily passes through sternum tissues with minimal trauma. The unique property of Acier® steel is its absolute inertness. The diameter of Acier® filaments ranges from 1 to 8 USP.
Cardionyl
CHARACTERISTICS: A non-absorbable polyamide monofilament for mitral and tricuspid valve reconstruction. The Cardionyl1.® suture material is characterized by strength, optimal elasticity, and lack of plastic memory that guarantee strength of the knots and minimal tissue trauma. The filaments are color coded and dyed blue. A number of filaments are specially fitted with pre-installed spacers, which expand application of Cardionyl1.®. The diameter of Cardionyl filaments ranges from 7/0 to 1 USР.
Cardioxyl
CHARACTERISTICS: A non-absorbable silicone-coated polyester multifilament. It is recommended by the manufacturer for valve prosthetics; however, foreign surgeons use CARDIOXYL® for both valve prosthetics and annuloplasty. The CARDIOXYL® suture material has high strength, good knot retention and guarantees knot strength and minimal tissue trauma. The silicone coating provides excellent sliding and no “sawing” effect. The filaments are color coded and dyed green and white. A number of filaments are specially fitted with pre-installed spacers, which expand application of CARDIOXYL®. The diameter of CARDIOXYL® filaments ranges from 5/0 to 0 USP.
Optime
CHARACTERISTICS: Synthetic absorbable polyglycolic acid multifilament coated with polycaprolactone and calcium stearate. The coating is no more than 0.5% of the weight of the filament and it ensures flawless sliding. Distinctive features are high early strength, softness, and biocompatibility. The OPTIME® suture material is well tolerated by patients and gives excellent results in wound healing. OPTIME® is surgeon-friendly, the filament is easily held in the hands when knotting. The filament strength guarantees strength of knots. Tissue trauma is minimal. The filament can be dyed purple or be colorless. The diameter of OPTIME® filament ranges from 6/0 to 2 USP. SEAM STABILIZATION: Time for optimal seam stabilization is 28 to 35 days. Complete absorption owing to filament hydrolysis is 60 to 90 days.
Corolene
CHARACTERISTICS: Non-absorbable monofilament suture is made of polypropylene. It is used for any surgical technique, and it is especially good for parachuting technique. Extrusion technology is used in production of filaments. This filament is perfect for coronary and vascular surgery, as it has minimal plastic memory, it is easy to use and highly durable. The filaments are color coded and dyed blue. The diameter of COROLENE® filament ranges from 8/0 to 0 USP. A distinctive feature of COROLENE® filament is its ability to slide, which surpasses all known counterparts. For example, some surgeons pre-soak it to increase sliding of PROLENE® filament. This is not required for COROLENE®. High tensile strength is a stable characteristic of the filament.
