- A non-absorbable, monofilament surgical thread used for reliable wound closure and tissue approximation
Uses
- Soft Tissue Approximation:
- Primarily indicated for general soft tissue closure and ligation
- Specialized Surgery:
- Frequently used in cardiovascular, ophthalmic, and neurological procedures
- Critical Quality Procedures:
- Ideal for surgeries where high-quality suture material is essential for patient outcomes
Features
- Material:
- Composed of long-chain aliphatic polymers (Nylon 6 or Nylon 6,6)
- Construction:
- Monofilament design for a smooth, uniform surface
- Suture Size:
- Features a 4-0 thickness

- Length & Color:
- Suture length is 18 inches and dyed Black (Logwood Extract) for high visibility
- Sterility:
- Provided as a sterile, single-use medical device
Benefits
- Smooth Passage:
- The monofilament construction allows the suture to glide easily through delicate tissue with minimal friction
- Minimal Tissue Reaction:
- Being a synthetic material, it provokes very little inflammatory response compared to natural fibers
- Reduced Material Memory:
- Utilizes specialized Racetrack packaging, which ensures the suture stays straighter and is easier to handle upon removal
- Needle Protection:
- The packaging includes "needle parks" that protect the precision tip from damage until it is ready for use
