TI•CRON™ polyester sutures are nonabsorbable, sterile, surgical sutures composed of Poly (ethylene terephthalate). They are prepared from fibers of high molecular weight, long-chain, linear polyesters having recurrent aromatic rings. The braided sutures are coated uniformly with silicone to increase surface lubricity, thereby enhancing handling characteristics, ease of passage through tissue, and knot run-down properties. TI•CRON™ polyester sutures are inert and elicit only minimal local tissue reaction. They are available dyed with D&C Blue No. 6 colorant and are also available undyed (white)
