Plain Gut Absorbable Sutures in Size 5-0, 18" length, and yellowish tan color are premium-quality surgical sutures designed for a range of medical procedures requiring absorbable support. Each suture comes with a P-3 needle, ensuring precision and ease of use in delicate surgical situations. Manufactured by Ethicon, a leader in surgical technology, these sutures are known for their reliability and effectiveness in wound closure and tissue approximation.
Key Features:
- Size 5-0: The 5-0 size designation indicates a very fine suture, suitable for delicate procedures where minimal tissue trauma is critical. This size is commonly used in ophthalmic, dermatologic, and microsurgical applications.
- 18-Inch Length: Each suture is 18 inches long, providing sufficient length for various surgical needs. This length facilitates ease of handling and ensures adequate reach during surgical procedures.
- Plain Gut Absorbable Suture: Made from plain gut, these sutures are designed to be absorbable. The suture material gradually breaks down and is absorbed by the body over time, eliminating the need for removal. This feature makes it ideal for internal tissue closure and other applications where long-term support is unnecessary.
- Yellowish Tan Color: The yellowish tan color of the sutures allows for clear visibility against tissues, aiding in accurate placement and handling during surgery. The color also helps differentiate these sutures from others during procedures.
- P-3 Needle: The suture comes with a P-3 needle, known for its precision and reliability. The P-3 needle is designed for easy penetration and smooth passage through tissues, minimizing trauma and ensuring effective closure. Its curved shape allows for controlled and accurate suturing in various anatomical areas.
- Smooth Coating: The sutures feature a smooth coating that facilitates easy passage through tissues and reduces friction. This coating helps minimize tissue drag and trauma, promoting better patient outcomes.
- Sterile Packaging: Each suture and needle combination is individually packaged in a sterile environment, ensuring that it remains free from contaminants until the moment of use. The sterile packaging maintains the integrity and safety of the suture and needle.
Intended Use:
ETHILON® Plain Gut Absorbable Sutures with a P-3 Needle are used for a variety of surgical procedures where absorbable sutures are required.
