Product Overview
The Surgical Specialties Monoderm Y935n Absorbable Suture is a high-quality, synthetic monofilament suture made from a blend of polyglycolic acid (PGA) and polycaprolactone (PCL). Designed for optimal wound support, this suture provides consistent tensile strength during the critical healing phase and is gradually absorbed by hydrolysis, minimizing tissue reaction.
The suture comes pre-attached to a PS-1 3/8 Circle Reverse Cutting Needle, ensuring precision and ease of use in various surgical applications. The reverse cutting needle design reduces tissue trauma, making it ideal for procedures requiring smooth penetration and secure wound closure.
Features:
- Absorbable: Gradually breaks down in the body via hydrolysis.
- Monofilament: Smooth, single-strand construction for minimal tissue drag.
- High Tensile Strength: Provides reliable wound support during healing.
- Reverse Cutting Needle: PS-1 3/8 Circle design for precise, low-trauma suturing.
- Minimal Tissue Reaction: Synthetic composition reduces irritation.
Specifications:
- Material: Polyglycolic Acid (PGA) / Polycaprolactone (PCL)
- Needle Type: PS-1 3/8 Circle Reverse Cutting
- Suture Size: 4-0
- Length: Standard suture length (varies by packaging)
- Absorption: Fully absorbed over time (hydrolytic degradation)
Use Suggestion:
This suture is well-suited for general soft tissue approximation, including subcutaneous and intradermal closures in plastic, ophthalmic, and cardiovascular surgeries. Its monofilament structure and absorbable properties make it an excellent choice for procedures where long-term wound support is not required, and minimal scarring is desired.
