- A 4-0 absorbable Monofilament Suture composed of a Poly(glycolide/L-lactide) and Polycaprolactone (PGL/PCL) blend which comes pre-attached to a C-3 precision reverse cutting needle
Uses
- Wound Closure:
- Specifically designed for soft tissue approximation where an absorbable suture is required
- Medical & Dental Procedures:
- Commonly used in both general medical surgery and dental applications for closing incisions
Features
- Material:
- Made from a PGL/PCL monofilament blend, which provides a smooth passage through tissue
- Needle Specifications:
- Features a C-3 Precision Reverse Cutting needle, 13mm in length with a 3/8 circle curvature
- Suture Dimensions:
- The suture is 18 inches long and has a 4-0 USP size
- Physical Properties:
- It is undyed (clear/white) and uncoated, maintaining a low profile in the tissue
- Packaging:
- Typically sold in a box containing 12 sutures
Benefits
- Absorbability:
- Eliminates the need for a follow-up appointment for suture removal, as the material is naturally broken down by the body
- Reduced Tissue Trauma:
- The monofilament construction and precision reverse cutting needle are designed to minimize tissue drag and trauma during placement
- Consistent Performance:
- Provides reliable tensile strength during the critical wound-healing period
- Single-Use Safety:
- Being disposable and sterile, it ensures optimal hygiene standards and prevents cross-contamination
