Monocryl® Suture 4-0 | 18" | P-3 | 3/8 Circle Undyed

The Y494G Sutures are undyed Ethicon Monocryl monofilament absorbable sutures, specifically designed to provide superior performance in a range of surgical applications. These sutures are crafted from high-quality Monocryl material, known for its excellent handling properties and reliable absorption profile, ensuring effective wound closure and optimal healing outcomes.

Key Features:

• Material Composition: The sutures are made from Monocryl (poliglecaprone 25), a synthetic absorbable material that offers high initial tensile strength and smooth tissue passage with minimal tissue reaction.
• Size: These sutures are size 4-0, which makes them suitable for a variety of surgical procedures requiring fine tissue approximation and secure ligation, especially in cosmetic, plastic, and general surgeries.
• Length: Each suture is 18 inches long, providing ample length for various surgical techniques and procedures.
• Needle Details: The sutures come with a P-3 needle, which is a 3/8 circle prime reverse cutting needle. This needle design ensures precise and smooth penetration, minimizing tissue trauma and making it ideal for suturing tough or thick tissues.
• Absorption Profile: Monocryl sutures typically retain 50-60% of their initial tensile strength after 7 days and are fully absorbed by hydrolysis within 91-119 days. This predictable absorption rate reduces the risk of long-term foreign body reactions.
• Sterilization: The sutures are sterilized to meet stringent medical safety standards, preventing infection and ensuring patient safety.
• Undyed: These sutures are undyed, making them less visible and particularly advantageous for aesthetic applications where the appearance of sutures needs to be minimized.

Packaging: Each box contains 12 individually packaged sutures, ensuring that each suture remains sterile and ready for use when needed. The packaging is designed to maintain the integrity and sterility of the sutures until they are opened for surgical use.
