ADVALENE

ADVALENE  suture is non-absorbable, sterile surgical suture composed of an isotactic crystalline stereoisomer of polypropylene. The suture is coloured blue to enhance visibility.

The advanced extrusion process of the polypropylene molecule gives ADVALENE:

Robust manufacturing process and the only Polypropylene with aluminium packaging

  • ADVALENE suture is a non-absorbable sterile surgical suture composed of an isotactic crystalline stereoisomer of polypropylene, a synthetic linear polyolefin.
  • ADVALENE suture is dyed with Phthalocyanine Blue to enhance visibility in tissue.
  • ADVALENE suture is indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, including use in ophthalmic surgery, peripheral nerve anastomosis, cardiovascular and neurological procedures.
  • ADVALENE suture is contraindicated in patients with known sensitivities or allergies to Polypropylene.
  • ADVALENE suture is not absorbed nor is subjected to degradation or weakening by the action of tissue enzymes. Due to its relative biological inertness it is recommended for use where the least possible suture reaction is desired. As a monofilament it has been successfully employed in surgical wound which subsequently become infected or contaminated where it can minimize later sinus formation and suture extrusion due to its lack of adherence to tissue, ADVALENEsuture is effective as a pull-out suture.

*Mass Absorption: Time in days required for suture to be totally absorbed in the body.

ADVALENE suture complies with United States Pharmacopeia requirement for “Non-Absorbable surgical suture” and the European Pharmacopoeia for “Sterile Non-Absorbable Strands”.
