Nonabsorbable Pre
PTFE Polymer Pledgets - VPG56FE
Device Description
A multiple-strand (multifilament), synthetic thread made from a non-bioabsorbable polyester intended to join (i.e., approximate) the edges of a soft-tissue wound or incision by stitching or to ligate soft tissues; it may include an attached disposable device(s) [e.g., needle, passer] intended to facilitate suture application. The thread provides temporary wound support until the wound sufficiently heals to withstand normal stress. It is not a barbed suture and does not include antimicrobial agents/materials. This is a single-use device.
