Key Features
Product: Tevdek Suture
Material: Braided Polyester (a synthetic, non-absorbable material)
Coating: Heavy PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) coating
Color: Green (for high visibility)
Construction: Tightly braided

Length: Typically packaged as three 18-inch strands (3x18")
Needle: Often comes with a reverse cutting needle, designed to pass through tough tissue with minimal trauma.
Common Uses
The unique features of this suture make it ideal for procedures where a strong, permanent, and smooth suture is required. The heavy PTFE coating minimizes friction, allowing it to pass smoothly through delicate or "friable" tissues and helping knots to slide down securely.
It is indicated for:
General Soft-Tissue Approximation: Bringing tissues together for healing.
Ligation: Tying off blood vessels or other structures.
Specialized Surgeries: Due to its strength and non-absorbable nature, it is frequently used in:
Cardiovascular surgery
Orthopedic procedures
Neurological surgery
Ophthalmic (eye) surgery
