KRUUSE Linen Suture, USP 3+4, white, 50 m

KRUUSE Linen is a braided and coated multifilament, non-absorbable suture based on cellulose and is derived from twisted long staple flax.
KRUUSE Linen is packed in dry condition but gains a substantial and immediate increase in strength if wetted before use. It possesses a higher tissue reactivity and greater capillarity than cotton. One of the greatest assets of linen is its low extensibility and thus ability to hold a tight knot.

Multifilament, braided: For secure knot tying, high flexibility and easy handling
Coated: For easy knot tying and smooth passage through tissue
Non-absorbable: Provides permanent tensile strength
