- A 4-0 size, non-absorbable Nylon Monofilament Suture designed for general and specialized surgical wound closure, featuring a high tensile strength and a smooth surface that allows it to pass easily through tissue with minimal disruption
Uses
- Skin and General Closure:
- Standard use for closing external wounds and incisions
- Specialized Surgery:
- Frequently used in Ophthalmology, Microsurgery, Cardiovascular surgery, and Gastrointestinal procedures
- Restorative Procedures:
- Ideal for applications requiring long-term strength and minimal tissue reaction
Features
- Material:
- Uncoated Nylon (Polyamide) monofilament construction
- Needle Specifications:
- Features a C-6 Reverse Cutting needle with a 3/8 circle curvature and an 18mm length
- Suture Dimensions:
- The suture itself is 10 inches long with a 4-0 size (diameter)
- Needle Design:
- Honed to a unique multiedged point for easier penetration and drilled for a seamless needle-suture juncture to reduce tissue drag
- Packaging:
- Provided in a double-sterile barrier packaging to maintain sterility and reduce waste
Benefits
- Reduced Tissue Trauma:
- The uniform, smooth surface and seamless needle attachment allow the suture to pass through delicate tissues easily
- Durability:
- As a non-absorbable material, it provides characteristic high tensile strength for permanent or long-term support
- Improved Visibility:
- The black dye of the suture provides high contrast against tissue, making it easier for clinicians to see and remove later
- Ease of Use:
- The multi-edged honed needle point provides greater ease of penetration, requiring less force during the suturing process
