- A non-absorbable, sterile surgical suture made of monofilament polypropylene, this 6-0 gauge suture is undyed (clear) and comes equipped with a P-1 Precision Point needle, which features a reverse cutting edge for precise tissue penetration
Uses
- General Soft Tissue:
- Indicated for approximation and ligation of soft tissues
- Specialized Procedures:
- Widely trusted for over 40 years in cardiovascular, ophthalmic, and neurological surgeries
- Skin Closure:
- Its non-adherent surface makes it an ideal choice for skin closure where easy, trauma-free removal is required
- Delicate Work:
- The fine 6-0 size is specifically used for procedures requiring minimal scarring and fine suturing
Features
- MULTIPASS® Needle:
- Uses an alloy and coating that ensures sharpness and strength through multiple passes in tough tissue
- Monofilament Structure:
- A single-strand construction that smoothly passes through tissue and reduces the risk of bacterial "wicking"
- Precision Point Needle:
- The P-1 needle (11 mm, 3/8 circle) provides exceptional control and accuracy during delicate procedures
- Permanent Tensile Strength:
- The polypropylene material does not degrade over time, providing indefinite wound support
Benefits
- Minimal Tissue Reactivity:
- It is biologically inert, resulting in extremely low inflammation or allergic response
- Reduced Tissue Trauma:
- The smooth surface and sharp reverse cutting edge minimize drag and trauma during needle passage
- Cosmetic Results:
- The undyed, clear filament is nearly invisible, providing excellent cosmetic results in visible facial or plastic surgery areas
- Reliability:
- Offers secure knot tying and high plasticity to accommodate tissue swelling during the healing process
