  • 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:

  • 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:
