Product Overview
The Surgical Specialties Monoderm Y493N Absorbable Suture with Needle is a high-quality monofilament suture designed for precise wound closure in surgical applications. Made from polyglycolic acid (PGA), this suture is fully absorbable, providing reliable wound support while minimizing tissue reaction. The included DSM13 3/8 Circle Precision Reverse Cutting Needle ensures smooth penetration and optimal control during suturing.
Features:
- Absorbable Material: Polyglycolic acid (PGA) suture is gradually absorbed by hydrolysis, eliminating the need for removal.
- Monofilament Construction: Reduces tissue drag and lowers the risk of infection compared to multifilament sutures.
- Precision Needle: The 3/8 circle reverse cutting needle (DSM13) enhances accuracy in dense or tough tissues.
- Size 5-0: Suitable for fine suturing in delicate procedures.
