- Designed for soft tissue closure in various medical and dental surgical procedures
Uses
- General and skin closure:
- The suture is designed for reliable and effective closure in a wide range of general and plastic surgery procedures
- Cardiovascular and gastrointestinal surgery:
- The robust polyester material is suitable for procedures requiring strong, long-term tissue support, such as those in cardiovascular and gastrointestinal surgery
- Ophthalmology:
- The fine 5-0 size and D-14 needle make it appropriate for use in ophthalmology
Features
- Polyester material:
- Made from braided polyester (poly-ethylene-terephthalate), a non-absorbable, synthetic material that provides high tensile strength and long-term wound support
- Braided construction:
- The braided structure offers excellent handling and tying characteristics with strong knot security
- Uncoated:
- Unlike some other polyester sutures, this one is uncoated
- Green color:
- The suture is dyed green, offering good visibility in the surgical field
- Superior Point Needle:
- Features a sharp, high-quality stainless steel D-14 needle that is honed with a unique multiedged point for greater ease of penetration
- Superior Attachment:
- The needles are laser-drilled for a seamless needle-suture juncture, providing a smoother transition with less tissue disruption
- Sterile packaging:
- Each strand is individually sealed in a unique double-barrier sterile pack to ensure safety and prevent waste
Benefits
- Superior Penetration:
- The multi-edged, honed needle tip makes it easier to pass through tissue
- Reduced Tissue Trauma:
- The seamless transition between the needle and suture minimizes tissue damage during suturing
- High Performance:
- Strong needle resists bending and breaking during procedures
- Cost-Effective:
- Double-sterile packaging prevents premature sterility loss and reduces waste
- Reduced Memory:
- Racetrack packaging helps the suture stay straight, making it easier to handle
