- A black monofilament nylon suture with a reverse cutting needle (C-17), designed for plastic surgery, dermatology, and general skin closure, offering high tensile strength, excellent tissue handling, and enhanced visibility
Uses
- Skin & General Closure:
- Common in external applications due to low tissue reactivity
- Specialized Areas:
- Frequently used in Ophthalmology, Microsurgery, and Cardiovascular procedures
Features
- C-17 Needle:
- 3/8 circle, 12mm, with a specialized, multi-edged point for easy penetration
- Seamless Design:
- Features a drilled, smooth junction between the needle and suture, minimizing tissue damage
- Monofilament Material:
- Smooth, black-dyed polyamide (Nylon) for high visibility and easy passage through tissue
- Sterile Packaging:
- Utilizes a barrier system to ensure sterility
Benefits
- Less Tissue Trauma:
- The smooth surface and sharp, polished needle minimize drag
- Lower Infection Risk:
- Lacks the "wicking" properties of braided sutures, reducing potential for bacterial harboring
- High Tensile Strength:
- Provides secure knot-tying for precise, reliable closure
