APTOS Threads - Polypropylene Surgical Sutures are a dyed, nonabsorbable, sterile surgical strand of polypropylene in USP size 2-0. The base product is an isotactic crystalline stereoisomer of polypropylene, a synthetic linear polyolefin. The pigmented suture is dyed blue (with [Phthalocyaninato(2-)] copper, Color Index Number 74160) to enhance visibility; the colorant meets all requirements of US 21CFR, Parts 70-82. There is no coating or any other additives. The threads incorporate a bidirectional barbed design. The threads are supplied with needles attached to both ends. The thread's upper and lower anchoring sections are barbed in opposite direction with a small unbarbed section between them and two smooth unbarbed sections, each immediately adjacent to needle-thread attachment interfaces. The needles are constructed from 420B stainless steel.

The APTOS Threads – Polypropylene Surgical Sutures are indicated for general soft tissue approximation, excluding closure of the epidermis, where use of a non-absorbable suture is appropriate.

The APTOS Threads – Polypropylene Surgical Suture comprised of polypropylene is sterilized by ethylene oxide gas. Do not resterilize. Do not use if package is opened or damaged. Discard opened unused sutures. Do not use after expiration date.
