- A non-absorbable, sterile surgical suture is designed for general soft tissue approximation and is frequently used in both medical and dental surgical environments
Uses
- General Wound Closure:
- Extensively used for skin closure and ligating soft tissues
- Specialized Surgery:
- Indicated for use in a variety of fields including cardiovascular, ophthalmic, and neurological procedures
- Plastic & Microsurgery:
- The smooth surface and high tensile strength make it a common choice for plastic surgery and delicate microsurgical tasks
Features
- Material:
- Non-absorbable, uncoated black nylon monofilament
- Needle Specifications:
- Type: Precision Reverse Cutting (PC-33 needle code), which is ideal for penetrating tough tissue like skin
- Curvature: 3/8 circle needle
- Length: 24mm needle.
- Suture Dimensions:
- 18 inches in length with a 3-0 size
- Packaging:
- Sold in boxes of 12 sterile units
Benefits
- Easy Tissue Passage:
- The uniform, smooth monofilament surface permits the suture to pass through tissue with minimal drag and trauma
- Enhanced Penetration:
- Features a Superior Point, where needles are honed to a unique multi-edged point to provide greater ease of penetration through dense tissue
- Reduced Tissue Disruption:
- The Superior Attachment design uses drilled needles for a seamless juncture between the needle and suture, ensuring a smoother transition
- High Tensile Strength:
- As a polyamide suture, it offers characteristic high strength and excellent knot security, which are vital for reliable wound healing
- Minimal Waste:
- Utilizes Superior Packaging with a unique double-sterile barrier that keeps the entire package sterile for use in the sterile field and reduces costly waste
