- Absorbable, monofilament suture with a C-6 needle, designed for soft tissue closure in medical and dental surgical procedures
Uses
- General soft tissue closure:
- Used for reliable and effective closure in a wide range of oral, general, and GYN surgical procedures
- Surgical procedures where removal is difficult:
- As an absorbable suture, it is a suitable choice for procedures where suture removal would be difficult or unnecessary
- Periodontal surgery:
- Commonly employed in various surgical procedures where an absorbable material with predictable absorption time is desired
Features
- Absorbable material:
- The suture is made from high-quality catgut, a natural material treated with chromic salts to increase its longevity
- Predictable absorption:
- Its tensile strength retention varies by placement site and type, providing wound support for approximately 10-14 days and full absorption within 60-90 days
- Monofilament construction:
- The suture has a smooth, monofilament surface, which reduces tissue drag during passage and knot placement
- Undyed:
- It is undyed (beige/natural color), which can be desirable for use in certain areas or for minimal visibility
- Superior Point Needle:
- Features a sharp, high-quality stainless steel C-6 needle that is honed with 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
- Sterile packaging:
- Each strand is individually sealed in a sterile pack to ensure safety and prevent waste
Benefits:
- Predictable Absorption:
- Retains strength for approximately 10–14 days, with full absorption in 60–90 days, facilitating comfortable healing
- Reduced Tissue Trauma:
- The laser-drilled, seamless needle-suture juncture provides a smooth transition through tissue
- Enhanced Handling:
- The monofilament structure provides a smooth passage and secure knot placement
- High Performance:
- Unique multi-edged needle point provides superior ease of penetration
