DESCRIPTION: daxton®-D is a non-absorbable, sterile surgical monofilament suture, composed of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), with chemical formula (C2F4)n. PTFE suture has nonporous structure.

 daxton®-D is natural (undyed) and is white. 

daxton®-D PTFE (non-porous) Suture complies with the requirements of the European Pharmacopoeia (EP) and the United States Pharmacopoeia (USP) for Non-absorbable Surgical Suture. 

INTENDED PURPOSE: daxton®-D is intended for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation including use in cardiovascular surgery and dura mater repair. daxton®-D surgical sutures are single-use devices 

CLINICAL PERFORMANCE CHARASTERISTICS: daxton®-D suture elicits a minimal acute inflammatory reaction in tissue, which is followed by gradual encapsulation of the suture by fibrous connective tissue. PTFE is not absorbed, nor is it subject to degradation or weakening by the action of tissue enzymes 

CLINICAL BENEFIT: daxton®-D ensures secure approximation and/or ligation in general soft tissue operations including cardiovascular surgery and dura mater repair. daxton®-D aims to evoke inflammatory response in tissue as minimal as possible.
