- A non-absorbable surgical suture is a polyamide material known for its high tensile strength and is commonly used for general wound closure across various medical specialties
Uses
- General Wound Closure:
- Frequently used for skin closure and general soft tissue approximation
- Specialized Surgery:
- Indicated for use in cardiovascular, ophthalmic, microsurgery, and gastrointestinal procedures
- Long-Term Support:
- Ideal for procedures requiring a suture that provides permanent or long-lasting tensile strength without being absorbed by the body
Features
- Material:
- Non-absorbable, uncoated black nylon monofilament
- Needle Specifications:
- Type: C-8 Reverse Cutting needle
- Curvature: 3/8 circle needle
- Length: 26mm needle length
