The Y496G Sutures are designed to meet the demanding needs of surgical professionals. These undyed Monocryl sutures are made from a high-quality synthetic absorbable material, offering superior handling and reliable performance in a wide range of surgical applications. With a focus on minimizing tissue reaction and optimizing healing, these sutures provide an excellent choice for surgeons aiming for the best patient outcomes.
Key Features:
- Material Composition: Crafted from Monocryl (poliglecaprone 25), a synthetic absorbable material known for its smooth passage through tissues and minimal tissue reaction. Monocryl sutures provide high initial tensile strength and a predictable absorption profile.
- Size: These sutures are size 4-0, making them ideal for delicate tissue approximation and ligation in various surgical procedures, especially where fine suturing is required.
- Length: Each suture is 18 inches long, providing sufficient length for diverse surgical techniques and procedures.
- Needle Details: Equipped with a PS-2 needle, which is a 3/8 circle precision point needle. This needle design ensures smooth and precise penetration, reducing tissue trauma and making it suitable for tough or thick tissues.
- Absorption Profile: Monocryl sutures retain about 50-60% of their original tensile strength after 7 days and are completely 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, ensuring they are free from contaminants and ready for safe surgical use.
- Undyed: The undyed nature of these sutures makes them less visible, which is advantageous for surgeries where aesthetic outcomes are important.
Packaging: Each box contains 12 individually packaged sutures, ensuring sterility and convenience. The packaging maintains the integrity and sterility of each suture until it is ready to be used in surgery.
