Frequently Asked Questions About DesmoLen
Why is polypropylene suture preferred for cardiovascular surgery?
Polypropylene sutures like DesmoLen are preferred for cardiovascular and vascular surgery because they are inert (minimal tissue reaction), maintain permanent tensile strength, offer outstanding lubricity and elasticity, and their monofilament structure resists bacterial adherence — making them ideal for infected tissues.
Does DesmoLen lose tensile strength over time?
No, DesmoLen polypropylene suture is non-absorbable and maintains its tensile strength permanently in tissue, making it ideal for applications requiring long-term wound support.
