Deknatel X-4679WM5 Cottony White Braided Polyester Fiber Nonabsorbable Surgical Suture

Deknatel "Cottony" White Polyester Suture | X-4679WM5 | 26.2mm 1/2 Circle Reverse Cutting | 18" | BX/12

The Deknatel X-4679WM5 is a premium, non-absorbable surgical suture engineered for procedures requiring extreme tensile strength combined with the handling characteristics of natural fiber. While constructed from high-tenacity braided polyester, this suture features a specialized "Cottony" finish. This unique texturing process provides a soft, supple feel similar to umbilical tape or cotton, which significantly enhances knot security and reduces the "sawing" effect on delicate tissues common with standard synthetic braids.

This specific configuration is a Multi-Strand Value Pack, containing 5 sutures per sterile foil. With 12 packs per box, this provides a total of 60 individual 18-inch strands, making it an exceptionally efficient choice for high-volume suturing tasks such as fascia closure, valve attachment, or orthopedic tendon repair.

Technical & Clinical Advantages

• "Cottony" Soft Handling: The proprietary braiding and finishing process gives this polyester fiber a high-friction, "grippy" texture. This allows for excellent "knot throw" control, ensuring that once a knot is seated, it remains locked without the slippage often associated with coated synthetics.

• Exceptional Tensile Integrity: Polyester is chemically inert and does not degrade via enzymatic action or hydrolysis. It provides indefinite mechanical support, making it the premier choice for cardiovascular structures, prosthetic graft fixation, and high-tension orthopedic anchors.

• 26.2mm Reverse Cutting Needle: This mid-sized 1/2 circle needle is designed for universal application in dense tissues. The reverse cutting geometry prevents "cut-through" toward the incision edge, providing a more stable and secure channel for the heavy polyester braid.

• Multi-Strand Efficiency: The 5-suture-per-pack configuration is designed for "marathon" closures. By providing five pre-cut 18-inch strands in a single foil, the surgical team reduces the "open-and-transfer" time, streamlining the workflow in the final stages of a procedure.

• Low Tissue Reactivity: Despite its braided nature, the high-purity polyester fibers elicit minimal inflammatory response, allowing for stable long-term integration into the surrounding fascia or collagen matrix.

Condition & Quality Assurance

• Status: New – Factory Sealed.

• Integrity: This item is securely contained within its original manufacturer's packaging. Both the primary sterile foils and the secondary box are intact, ensuring absolute sterility and structural performance.
