PTFE Stents and Sutures

Produced for applications where increased strength and ease of surgical handling are major factors, our expanded monofilament PTFE fibers are ideal for stents and sutures. Using our PTFE fibers also offers enhanced desired properties such as natural lubricity and shape retention. Medical sewing threads are available in a variety of sizes to fit the application. We work with each customer to ensure the product meets the exact specifications required. PTFE sutures and stents offer chemical resistance, low coefficient of friction, and a long service life.
