Product Overview
The Surgical Specialties Monoderm Y495N Absorbable Suture with Needle is a high-quality, sterile surgical suture designed for optimal wound closure. Made from polyglycolic acid (PGA), this monofilament suture is absorbable, ensuring minimal tissue reaction while providing reliable tensile strength during the critical healing phase. The suture is pre-attached to a 3/8 circle precision reverse cutting needle, engineered for smooth tissue penetration and precise placement in various surgical applications.
Features:
- Absorbable Material: Polyglycolic acid (PGA) composition ensures gradual absorption by hydrolysis, reducing the need for suture removal.
- Monofilament Design: Minimizes tissue drag and bacterial adherence compared to multifilament sutures.
- Precision Reverse Cutting Needle: 3/8 circle configuration enhances control and accuracy in dense or tough tissues.
- Sterile & Single-Use: Individually packaged for safety and hygiene.
- Size 5-0: Suitable for fine tissue approximation in delicate procedures.
Specifications:
- Material: Polyglycolic Acid (PGA)
- Suture Type: Monofilament
- Needle Type: 3/8 Circle Reverse Cutting
- Needle Length: Varies by size (exact length per product details)
- Absorption Profile: Typically retains strength for 14–21 days, with complete absorption by 60–90 days.
- Color: Undyed (natural) or dyed options may be available.
Suggested Use:
This suture is ideal for subcutaneous and intradermal closures in general, ophthalmic, or plastic surgery. Its reverse cutting needle is particularly effective in fibrous tissues, such as skin or tendon repairs. Ensure proper knotting technique to maximize security, and select based on tissue type and healing requirements. Always follow aseptic protocols during application.
