Tevdek® | Polydek® | Cottony II Braided Polyester Suture


Deknatel® Braided Polyester Suture is stronger than silk and provides long-lasting support. The unique PTFE coating and impregnation process used on both Tevdek® and Polydek® Suture helps to reduce “dead space” in the braid, rendering the suture material virtually inert and reducing the risk of wicking and tissue reactivity while providing superior lubricity.


Tevdek® | Polydek® | Cottony II
Polyester Suture

Tevdek® Suture was the first braided polyester suture introduced over 35 years ago and originally developed for heart valve implantation.

  • Heavy PTFE coating and tight weave provide minimum friction, allowing suture to pass easily through the most friable tissue
  • Knots slide smoothly

Silky II Polydek® Suture is the same strong braided polyester substrate as Tevdek® Suture, but with a lighter PTFE treatment.

  • Tightly braided Polydek® Suture is lightly coated with PTFE and handles and ties just like silk
  • Smoother, stronger and longer lasting than silk

Cottony II is the uncoated version of our polyester suture.

  • “Mechanical softening” process makes the polyester Cottony II suture feel as soft and smooth as cotton


K-Point Needle

K-Point Needles – for cardiovascular and orthopedic surgical applications

  • K-Point needles combine a scalpel sharp cutting edge with a taper point geometry
  • Cutting edge does not extend beyond the taper of the needle, yet easily cuts through the toughest tissue
  • Taper point makes a round hole to minimize bleeding
  • Unique design allows for the sharpest penetration with the least amount of tissue trauma

NextStitch® Valve Implantation Device

NextStitch® Valve Suturing enables perfect approximation of adjacent sutures by placing two sutures with a single needle pass, eliminating the risk of damaging a suture with an adjacent needle.

  • Fewer needle punctures to the annulus
  • Simplifies precise placement of adjacent sutures
  • Eliminates risk of damaging a suture with an adjacent needle
