Riverbond™ is a non-absorbable surgical suture composed of polyethylene terepthalate. The braided suture is available uncoated or coated uniformly with silicone to increase surface lubricity, thereby enhancing handling characteristics, ease of passage through tissue, and knot run-down properties.

Characteristics

• Excellent tensile strength and knotted Security
• Maximum security in approximation of tissues under stress conditions;
• Permanent support (low to minimal loss of tensile strength)
• Maximum security with prosthetic implants;
• Coated for Smooth flow through tissue and enhanced knot run-down properties
