- Non-absorbable suture used for soft tissue closure in various medical and dental surgical procedures
Uses
- Microsurgery:
- The very fine 6-0 size, smooth monofilament construction, and precision C-1 needle make this suture ideal for delicate procedures
- Plastic surgery:
- It is commonly used for fine skin closure and other procedures in plastic surgery
- Ophthalmology:
- The smooth monofilament passes easily through tissue with minimal drag, making it suitable for delicate ophthalmic surgeries
- Cardiovascular surgery:
- It can also be used in certain cardiovascular surgical procedures where a fine, non-absorbable suture is required
- General and skin closure:
- The suture is used for ligating and approximating soft tissues where a non-absorbable suture is needed
Features
- Non-absorbable:
- The suture provides long-term wound support and is not broken down by the body
- Monofilament:
- The polypropylene material is a single filament, which is smooth and passes through tissue easily with minimal drag
- High tensile strength:
- The suture offers superior tensile strength compared to other monofilaments
- Secure knots:
- The material is easy to handle and allows for secure knot tying
- Precision C-1 needle:
- The 11mm, 3/8 circle C-1 needle is honed to a unique multi-edged point for greater ease of penetration through tough tissue
- 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
