ADVALENE Cardiovascular Suture

ADVALENE Cardiovascular suture is a synthetic non-absorbable, sterile surgical suture composed of an isotactic crystalline stereoisomer of polypropylene, synthetic linear polyolen. The suture is dyed with Phthalocyanine Blue to enhance visibility in tissue.


The advanced extrusion process of the polypropylene molecule gives ADVALENE Cardiovascular Suture:

The ADVALENE Edge1

  • Most inert monofilament structure makes ADVALENE Cardiovascular Suture an ideal choice for anastomosis.
  • ADVAPRIME needles are specially designed with an engineered tip to maintain shape and sharpness pass after pass for the most challenging calcified lesions & fibrotic blood vessels.
  • ADVALENE Cardiovascular Suture offers exceptional control and smooth passage through diseased tissues allowing knots to be repositioned and secure.

  • ADVALENE Cardiovascular Suture is indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, including use in ophthalmic surgery, peripheral nerve anastomosis, cardiovascular and neurological procedures.

  • ADVALENE Cardiovascular Suture is contraindicated in patients with known sensitivities or allergies to Polypropylene and PTFE (If suture with pledget is used).

  • ADVALENE Cardiovascular Suture is not absorbed nor is subjected to degradation or weakening by the action of tissue enzymes. Due to its relative biological inertness it is recommended for use where the least possible suture reaction is desired. As a monofilament it has been successfully employed in surgical wound which subsequently become infected or contaminated where it can minimize later sinus formation and suture extrusion due to its lack of adherence to tissue, ADVALENE Cardiovascular Suture is effective as a pull-out suture.
