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
