EVERPOINT™ Cardiovascular Needle
Cardiovascular procedures face unique challenges that demand a needle stay sharp through every pass, even through unexpected calcium deposits. We created EVERPOINT™ Needles with a high-strength tungsten-rhenium alloy that is up to 38% stronger and 121% more bend-resistant than conventional stainless steel suture needles.1
About this device
EVERPOINT™ Cardiovascular Needle is a nonmagnetic needle manufactured using a unique tungsten-rhenium alloy (74/26) and unique multi-layer silicone coating.2 They are only used with PROLENE™ Polypropylene Sutures.
Specialties

Durable
EVERPOINT™ Cardiovascular Needles showed little increase in penetration force, requiring up to 70% less penetration force over 30 passes compared to currently marketed stainless steel needles (BV175-8 and competitive equivalents).1

Strong
Shaped from an ultra high‐strength alloy called tungsten-rhenium and finished with a unique multi‐layer silicone coating, EVERPOINT™ Cardiovascular Needles set a standard for penetration performance and strength.2

PROLENE™ Polypropylene Suture with HEMO-SEAL™ Technology
A suture needle leaves a hole larger than the suture, creating bleeding risk due to the gap. PROLENE™ Polypropylene Suture with HEMO-SEAL™ Technology is engineered with a 1-to-1 needle-to-suture ratio, effectively sealing the puncture site. This innovative approach is designed to reduce suture line bleeding and enhance surgical field visualization.1
PROLENE™ Polypropylene Suture
PROLENE™ Sutures (clear or pigmented) are non-absorbable, sterile surgical sutures composed of an isotactic crystalline steroisomer of polypropylene, a synthetic linear polyolefin. The suture is dyed blue to enhance visibility and does not adhere to tissue, making it efficacious to pull out when ready. PROLENE™ Sutures are relatively biologically inert, offering proven strength, reliability, and versatility.1,2
