- Reverse Cutting Needle: Includes a 3/8 circle reverse cutting needle (size 4-0) for precise, controlled suturing in various surgical applications.
- Variable Loop Device: Adjustable loop mechanism enhances flexibility in wound closure techniques.
- Monofilament Construction: Smooth, single-strand design minimizes tissue drag and reduces infection risk.
Specifications:
- Material: Monoderm (PGA/PCL)
- Needle Type: 3/8 circle reverse cutting
- Needle Size: 4-0
- Suture Type: Barbed monofilament
- Absorption Profile: Gradual absorption via hydrolysis
Suggested Use:
Ideal for general surgery, plastic surgery, and dermatologic procedures, particularly where knot-free, self-anchoring sutures are preferred. Suitable for subcutaneous and intradermal closures, ensuring secure tissue approximation with minimal scarring.
This suture provides surgeons with an efficient, reliable alternative to traditional knotted sutures, enhancing procedural efficiency and patient outcomes.
