Silicone-coated polyester braided non-absorbable surgical suture supplied with tapercut needle for controlled tissue penetration, excellent knot security and long-term tensile wound support.

LuxSutures Luxpet® Polyester Braided Non-Absorbable Surgical Sutures are engineered for precise soft tissue approximation where controlled penetration and durable tensile strength are required.

Manufactured from polyester (polyethylene terephthalate, PET), this braided multifilament suture delivers excellent knot security, high tensile strength and reliable handling. A silicone coating enhances smooth tissue passage and reduces drag during suturing.

This configuration is supplied with an HRT 18 mm 1/2 circle tapercut needle, combining a tapered profile with a cutting edge to facilitate controlled penetration of denser tissues while maintaining accurate wound edge approximation. Luxpet sutures are non-absorbable and become gradually encapsulated by connective tissue, providing permanent wound support with minimal tissue reaction.
