- Designed for specialized procedures requiring rapid absorption and high-performance needle precision, this monofilament suture is crafted from high-purity collagen and is paired with a needle engineered to maintain its edge through multiple passes
Uses
- Rapidly Healing Tissue:
- Ideal for internal tissues that heal quickly and only require minimal temporary support
- General Soft Tissue Approximation:
- Used for general ligation and approximation across various surgical disciplines, including dental and veterinary procedures
- Ophthalmic Surgery:
- Indicated for use in delicate ocular procedures due to its smooth monofilament profile
- Prohibited Uses:
- It should not be used for cardiovascular or neurological tissues
Features
- Premium+ PS-3 Needle:
- A 16mm, 3/8 circle reverse cutting needle crafted from UNIALLOY™ (reinforced AISI 300 series stainless steel)
- Extended Sharpness:
- The needle is designed to maintain its shape and sharpness up to 3X longer than standard regular needles
- Monofilament Thread:
- Features an 18-inch (45cm) beige monofilament thread that provides a smooth surface to minimize tissue trauma during passage
- Absorption Profile:
- Tensile strength is maintained for up to 10 days, with complete absorption occurring within 70 days via proteolytic digestion
- MULTICUT™ Technology:
- Ensures ultra-sharp penetration with minimal drag for delicate procedures
Benefits
- Minimal Tissue Reaction:
- The high-purity collagen construction elicits very low inflammatory responses in the patient
- Precision Control:
- The reinforced UNIALLOY™ needle provides high ductility and bending strength, preventing accidental snapping or deformation during tough passes
- Atraumatic Suture Passage:
- The smooth monofilament thread and electropolished needle reduce the "sawing" effect on delicate tissues
- Ease of Handling:
- Despite being a monofilament, it is engineered for easy and secure knot-tying characteristics
