PTFE sewing thread: a "special material" in the medical field

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) sewing thread, with its unique physical and chemical properties, plays a crucial role in multiple medical scenarios, not only improving the quality and safety of surgeries, but also bringing new ideas to the innovation of medical devices.

In surgical procedures, the quality of sutures directly affects the surgical outcome and the patient's recovery process. PTFE sewing thread, as a non absorbable suture, has become an ideal choice for suturing slow healing tissues such as tendons and ligaments due to its excellent inertness and low tissue reactivity. In PremiCron non absorbable surgical sutures, PTFE gaskets are used in combination with polyethylene terephthalate sutures to effectively reduce the risk of suture cutting heart or vascular tissue, and are widely used in general surgery, cardiac and vascular surgery.

In the field of medical device manufacturing, PTFE sewing thread also demonstrates unique advantages. Bard Crurasoft patch consists of a layer of finely woven polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) mesh and a layer of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE), sewn together with PTFE monofilament thread. This patch is suitable for the reconstruction of soft tissue defects, such as chest wall defects and hernias, including diaphragmatic hernias and hiatal hernias, providing patients with a reliable treatment plan.

In addition, some medical protective products, such as surgical gowns, masks, etc., have also begun to use PTFE sewing thread. The chemical stability and waterproof performance of PTFE enable these protective products to effectively resist the erosion of chemical substances while blocking bacteria and viruses, providing comprehensive protection for medical staff.

PTFE sewing thread, with its excellent performance, has shown broad application prospects in the medical field. From surgical suturing to medical device manufacturing, and then to vascular suturing systems, PTFE sewing thread is leading the medical industry towards a new stage of development with its unique advantages, injecting new vitality into the healthcare industry.
