- A non-absorbable, sterile surgical thread, used in specialized surgical procedures requiring high precision and long-term tissue support
Uses
- Wound Closure:
- Ideal for general skin closure and plastic surgery where minimal scarring is desired
- Ophthalmic Surgery:
- Frequently used in eye-related procedures due to its fine size and high visibility
- Cardiovascular & Neurological Procedures:
- Utilized in surgeries where a non-absorbable, non-reactive material is necessary to provide permanent tissue reinforcement
Features
- Non-absorbable:
- The suture provides long-term wound support and is not broken down by the body
- Monofilament:
- The polypropylene material consists of a single, smooth filament, which minimizes tissue drag as it passes through the surgical site
- High tensile strength:
- The suture offers superior tensile strength compared to other true monofilament sutures
- Secure knots:
- The material is easy to handle and allows for secure knot tying
- DSCM16 needle:
- The 16mm, 3/8 circle conventional cutting DSCM16 needle is honed to a unique multi-edged point for greater ease of penetration
- Seamless attachment:
- The needle is drilled for a smooth, seamless junction with the suture, reducing tissue disruption during passage
- Sterile and disposable:
- Each suture is sterile and packaged in a unique double-sterile barrier packaging for single use to ensure patient safety
- Color:
- The suture is dyed blue for easy visibility
Features:
- Monofilament Construction:
- A single-strand design that minimizes bacterial "wicking" and ensures smooth passage through delicate tissues
- High Visibility:
- The thread is blue and uncoated, making it easily distinguishable against patient tissue during surgery
- Precision Needle (DSCM16):
- Features a 16mm, 3/8 circle conventional cutting needle. The needle is honed to a unique multi-edged point for superior penetration
- Seamless Attachment:
- The needle is drilled for a seamless juncture with the suture, reducing tissue disruption during the "drag" of the thread
- Double-Sterile Packaging:
- Uses a unique packaging system to maintain sterility and reduce medical waste
