- Designed for soft tissue closure in various medical and dental surgical procedures
Uses
- General and skin closure:
- Commonly used for approximating and ligating general soft tissues and for skin closures
- Ophthalmology and microsurgery:
- Due to the fine 6-0 size, monofilament nature, and precise needle, it is well-suited for delicate procedures such as those in ophthalmology and microsurgery
- Cardiovascular surgery:
- Can also be used in cardiovascular and gastrointestinal surgeries
Features
- Material:
- Made from nylon (polyamide), a synthetic, non-absorbable, monofilament material known for its high tensile strength
- Non-absorbable:
- The suture provides long-term tissue support and is not broken down or absorbed by the body
- Smooth surface:
- The uniform smooth surface of the monofilament passes easily through tissue with minimal drag
- Uncoated:
- The suture is uncoated, yet it maintains smooth passage
- Black color:
- The suture is dyed black, offering good visibility in the surgical field
- Superior Point Needle (C-22):
- Features a sharp, high-quality stainless steel needle (C-22) honed to a unique multi-edged 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 sterile pack with a double-sterile barrier to ensure safety and prevent waste
