Braided Polyester Suture (NEOBOND®)

Braided Polyester Suture is a non absorbable sterile surgical suture composed of Poly (ethylene terephthalate). It is prepared from fibers of high molecular weight, long-chain, linear polyesters having recurrent aromatic rings as an integral component. Braided Polyester suture is uniformly coated with polybutilate or poly (oxy-1, 4 butanediyloxy) (1, 6-dioxo-1, 6 hexanediyl). The highly adherent coating is a relatively nonreactive non absorbable compound which acts as a lubricant to mechanically improves the physical properties of the uncoated suture by improving handling qualities as contrasted to the braided, uncoated fiber. Polyester suture is braided for optimal handling properties, and dyed green for enhanced visibility.
