Novafil non-absorbable monofilament surgical sutures are composed of polybutester fiber. The suture is available dyed blue to provide visibility or clear, and are indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation – including use in cardiovascular and ophthalmic surgery. Novafil polybutester sutures unique composition gives the suture:
In skin closure, edema may result from fluid accumulation at the closure site. Novafil polybutester construction offers a controlled elasticity that will accommodate swelling that occurs during the healing process and the patient will experience less tension on a healing wound.
Unlike nylon or polypropylene material that may not recover from stretching, Novafil is “creep resistant” and can return to its original form when edema recedes. Novafil helps diminish the risk of hypertrophic scarring by keeping constant support on the sutured incision. And, unlike hydrophilic nylons that absorb moisture and may adhere to tissue, Novafil suture is moisture repellent. The removal of Novafil suture from skin, fascia or muscle provides a smooth pull-through that is less likely to damage the tissue.
