Polyvinylidene fluoride sutures are sterile, synthetic monofilament threads designed to hold soft tissue together following a surgical incision or wound. These non-bioabsorbable materials provide essential support to the tissue during the healing process and are often supplied with an attached needle for clinical convenience.
These devices are intended for single use only and must be disposed of after the procedure is complete. Depending on the clinical requirement, the suture may be removed once the wound has healed or left in place to be naturally encapsulated by the body's fibrous connective tissue.
