Product Spotlight
VASCUFIL™ polybutester sutures are nonabsorbable, sterile, surgical sutures composed of a copolymer of butylene terephthalate and polytetramethylene ether glycol
The suture is coated with Polytribolate™, an absorbable polymer of e-caprolactone / glycolide / poloxamer 188
The sutures are pigmented with Copper Phthalocyanine Blue
A continuous anastomosis using vascufil suture offers a greater cross sectional area of the lumen of an end-to-end anastomosis versus continuous polypropylene
The elasticity of vascufil enables the anastomosis to be closer to the native diameter of the vessel wall
Less chance of suture breakage and durable performance, resists damage from calcified tissue and grafts
Smooth passage through tissue, minimizes tissue trauma
Controlled elasticity, provides tactile feedback while in use. vascufil suture helps provide a large luminal opening in an end-to-end anastomosis compared to polypropylene sutures
