ATRAMAT® Polyester

ATRAMAT POLYESTER, with its high tensile strength and controlled elongation, ensures secure adaptation of wound edges. The special silicone or Teflon coating, combined with a precise needle-to-thread transition, guarantees smooth tissue passage, even through calcified tissue or arteriosclerotic plaques. These physical attributes, coupled with minimal tissue reaction, make it an ideal suture material for cardiac and vascular surgery. ATRAMAT POLYESTER is offered with a wide range of atraumatic, precision-sharpened needles of the highest quality, enabling excellent surgical outcomes. Specialized needles for cardiac and vascular surgery are also available. For details on our needles and available needle shapes, please refer to our separate information brochure and detailed product catalog.

Caution: ATRAMAT POLYESTER is resistant to continuous, repetitive tensile stress and is therefore ideal for cardiovascular procedures where a loss of tensile strength cannot be tolerated in the long term with regard to permanent tissue support.
ATRAMAT POLYESTER is a multifilament braided, non-absorbable surgical suture material of synthetic origin.
