Monocryl® Suture 5-0 | 18" | P-3 | 3/8 Circle Undyed

The Y493G Sutures are undyed Ethicon Monocryl monofilament absorbable sutures designed for high performance in a variety of surgical procedures. Known for their smooth handling, these sutures provide reliable wound closure with minimal tissue reaction, ensuring optimal healing and patient outcomes.

Key Features:

• Material Composition: Made from Monocryl (poliglecaprone 25), a synthetic absorbable material, these sutures offer excellent tensile strength and smooth passage through tissue.
• Size: These sutures are size 5-0, making them ideal for delicate tissue approximation and ligation, particularly in cosmetic, plastic, and general surgeries.
• Length: Each suture measures 18 inches, providing sufficient length for a range of surgical techniques and procedures.
• Needle Details: Equipped with a P-3 needle, a 3/8 circle prime reverse cutting needle. This needle design minimizes tissue trauma and provides precise, smooth penetration, especially in tough or thick tissues.
• Absorption Profile: Monocryl sutures maintain approximately 50-60% of their original tensile strength after 7 days and are fully absorbed by hydrolysis within 91-119 days, minimizing the risk of long-term foreign body reactions.
• Sterilization: These sutures are sterilized to meet stringent medical safety standards, preventing infection and ensuring patient safety.
• Undyed: The undyed nature of these sutures makes them less visible, which is advantageous for certain surgical applications where aesthetics are a concern.

Packaging: Each box contains 12 individually packaged sutures, ensuring sterility and convenience for surgical teams. The packaging is designed to maintain the integrity and sterility of each suture until it is ready for use.
