- A sterile, non-absorbable nylon monofilament suture used primarily for wound closure and surgical procedures
Uses
- Wound Closure:
- Designed for soft tissue approximation and general wound repair
- Specialized Procedures:
- Commonly used in plastic surgery, microsurgery, and dermatological procedures where minimal tissue reaction is required
Features
- Material Construction:
- Made of black nylon monofilament, which provides high tensile strength and a smooth surface

- Equipped with an 18mm Precision Reverse Cutting 3/8 circle needle
- Size and Length:
- The suture is size 3-0 and measures 18 inches (approximately 45cm) in length
- Non-Absorbable:
- The material does not dissolve in the body, making it suitable for long-term tissue support
Benefits
- Smooth Tissue Passage:
- The monofilament construction allows the suture to pass through tissue easily with minimal drag or disruption
- Greater Ease of Penetration:
- The needles are honed to a unique multi-edged point, facilitating smoother entry during procedures
- Enhanced Control:
- The precision reverse cutting needle is designed for accuracy in delicate surgical tasks
