RTMED specializes in producing various non-absorbable sutures, including Nylon, Silk, Polyester (PET), PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene), and UHMWPE (Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene) sutures. These sutures are designed for long-term tissue support, as they are not absorbed by the body. Non-absorbable sutures remain in place for several weeks or months, making them ideal for cases where stitches need to be removed later. They are commonly used to hold wounds closed or to reinforce tissue, preventing tearing under tension. These sutures are known for their high strength, allowing them to withstand significant tension while providing excellent suture performance.
