Frequently Asked Questions About DesmoMid
Why is polypropylene suture preferred for cardiovascular surgery?
Polypropylene sutures like DesmoMid are preferred for cardiovascular surgery because they are inert (minimal tissue reaction), maintain permanent tensile strength, and their monofilament structure resists bacterial adherence and thrombogenicity.
Does DesmoMid lose tensile strength over time?
No, DesmoMid polypropylene suture is non-absorbable and maintains its tensile strength permanently in tissue, making it ideal for applications requiring long-term wound support.
