| Aeos® ePTFE Suture Monofilament (ASM) is made by extruding and expanding PTFE under controlled conditions during the manufacturing process. This process alters the physical properties of the product by creating microscopic pores in the structure of the material. The resulting product is imparted with unique physical properties such as flexibility and strength that make it ideal for suture applications. ePTFE has a long history of proven biological inertness in a variety of implant procedures including mitral valve and hernia repair, anastomosis, wound closure, and other vascular surgeries. Zeus ASM has the biocompatible history, maintains a high tensile strength in vivo, and is well-suited for stressful internal environments where absorbable sutures are not appropriate. |
