- Designed for soft tissue closure in medical and dental surgical procedures where rapid absorption is desired
Uses
- General soft tissue closure:
- Used for reliable and effective closure in a wide range of oral and general 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
- Mucosal wounds:
- Often used for closing mucosal wounds or in superficial skin closures where faster healing is expected
- Short-term tissue support:
- Provides wound support for approximately 5-7 days, making it ideal for rapidly healing tissues
Features
- Absorbable material:
- The suture is made from Plain Gut, a natural material that loses its tensile strength within 5-7 days and is completely absorbed by the body within 30-60 days
- Monofilament construction:
- The suture has a smooth, monofilament surface, which reduces tissue drag during passage and knot placement
- Undyed:
- It is undyed, 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 unique double-barrier sterile pack to ensure safety and prevent waste
