- Non-absorbable suture used for soft tissue closure in various medical and dental surgical procedures
Uses
- General and skin closure:
- The 2-0 size is a versatile gauge for ligating and approximating soft tissues
- Plastic surgery:
- It is commonly used for skin closure in plastic surgery procedures
- Microsurgery and ophthalmology:
- The smooth, monofilament nature of polypropylene minimizes tissue drag and makes it suitable for delicate procedures
- Cardiovascular surgery:
- It can also be used in certain cardiovascular surgical procedures
Features
- Non-absorbable:
- Made from polypropylene, the suture provides long-term wound support and is not broken down by the body
- Monofilament:
- The single-filament construction is smooth and passes through tissue easily with minimal drag
- High tensile strength:
- The polypropylene material offers superior tensile strength
- Secure knots:
- The material is easy to handle and allows for secure knot tying
- Smooth surface:
- The smooth, monofilament structure provides minimal tissue drag, allowing for smooth passage through tissue and easy knot placement and removal
- Minimal tissue reaction:
- The material is biologically inert, resulting in minimal tissue irritation and inflammation
- Blue color:
- The blue color offers good visibility in the surgical field
- C-8 needle:
- The 26mm, 3/8 circle reverse cutting C-8 needle is honed to a unique, multi-edged point for greater ease of penetration
- Superior attachment:
- The needles are laser-drilled for a seamless needle-suture juncture, providing a smoother transition with less tissue disruption
- Minimal memory:
- The suture has little package memory, making it easy to handle and tie securely
- Sterile and disposable:
- Each suture is sterile and packaged for single use to ensure patient safety and prevent cross-contamination
- Color:
- The suture is dyed blue for easy visibility.
