Polyolefin/fluoropolymer multifilament sutures are synthetic, non-absorbable threads designed to securely close soft-tissue wounds or incisions. They are used in surgical procedures to approximate tissue edges, providing temporary support until the wound heals enough to bear normal stress without stitching.
These sutures are typically single-use and may come with disposable tools like needles or passers to aid application. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are generally classified based on their intended use and risk profile, with compliance requirements varying by market.
