Novafil™ non-absorbable monofilament surgical sutures are composed of polybutester fiber, which gives 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™ 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.
