- Sutures specifically designed for applications where high-quality absorption and precision are critical
Uses
- Soft Tissue Approximation:
- Used for general soft tissue ligation and approximation where an absorbable suture is indicated
- Specialized Surgery:
- Particularly suitable for procedures requiring a fine, smooth monofilament, such as in dental surgery, plastic surgery, or dermatology
- Absorbable Support:
- Ideal for tissues that require temporary support but will eventually heal enough to no longer need a permanent suture
Features
- Material:
- A monofilament blend of Polyglycolic Acid (PGA) and Polycaprolactone (PCL), which is uncoated and undyed
- Size & Length:
- Size 6-0 suture with an 18-inch (45cm) length
- DSM13 Needle:
- Equipped with a 13mm, 3/8 circle precision reverse cutting needle
- Racetrack Packaging:
- Utilizes a specialized Racetrack design to reduce "suture memory," ensuring the material lays flat once removed from the package
- Precision Needle Technology:
- The needle is made of 300-series stainless steel with a silicone coating for superior penetration and resistance to bending
Benefits
- Reduced Memory:
- The larger diameter of the racetrack packaging minimizes suture rotations, making the material easier to handle and less likely to tangle
- Enhanced Patient Safety:
- Degrading by hydrolysis, these sutures offer a predictable absorption rate with minimal tissue reaction
- Clinical Efficiency:
- The "Press-Push" needle lift in the packaging allows for easy, one-handed removal, streamlining the surgical workflow
- Quality Assurance:
- This product carries the Henry Schein Seal of Excellence, guaranteeing 100% satisfaction and high-performance standards
