NOVAFIL™ Monofilament Polybutester Sutures
NOVAFIL™ nonabsorbable monofilament surgical sutures are composed of polybutester, a copolymer of butylene terephthalate and polytetramethylene ether glycol.
The unique properties of NOVAFIL™ monofilament sutures are attributed to the composition and structure of the polybutester fiber which give the suture:
- Suppleness and easy handling
- Unique elasticity and flexibility
- Excellent knot security
- Less tissue drag and smooth knot run-down
- Fray resistance
- Unique resistance to creep and structural fatigue
Novafil™ polybutester sutures are indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, including use in cardiovascular and ophthalmic surgery, but not in microsurgery and neural tissue.
