McKesson™ Polyglycolic Acid Sutures Size 6-0 | 18" | P-13 | 3/8” Circle Black
McKesson Brand
The McKesson™ Polyglycolic Acid Sutures are a high-quality, absorbable synthetic suture designed to provide reliable wound closure in various surgical procedures. This specific suture is a Size 6-0, measuring 18 inches in length, and equipped with a P-13 needle featuring a 3/8” circle configuration. The suture is colored black for enhanced visibility during surgery, making it suitable for use in delicate tissue approximation.
Product Features:
- Polyglycolic Acid Composition: Made from polyglycolic acid, these sutures offer excellent tensile strength and predictable absorption rates, making them ideal for a wide range of surgical applications.
- Absorbable Material: The suture is designed to be absorbed by the body over time, eliminating the need for removal and minimizing patient discomfort.
- Size 6-0: Fine suture size suitable for delicate tissues, microsurgery, and ophthalmic procedures, ensuring precise wound closure.
- 18” Length: Provides ample length for various types of procedures, allowing for easy handling and knotting.
- P-13 Needle: Equipped with a 3/8” circle reverse cutting needle, which is sharp and designed for efficient penetration through tough or thick tissue, reducing tissue trauma.
- Black Color: The black color enhances visibility against various tissue types, facilitating easier identification and handling during surgical procedures.
Intended Use: McKesson™ Polyglycolic Acid Sutures are intended for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, including use in ophthalmic procedures, plastic surgery, and other surgeries requiring precision. The absorbable nature of the suture makes it particularly suitable for internal tissue closure where long-term support is not necessary.
Benefits:
- High Tensile Strength: Provides strong and secure wound closure, reducing the risk of dehiscence.
- Predictable Absorption Profile: Designed to maintain strength during the critical wound healing period before being gradually absorbed by the body.
- Minimal Tissue Reaction: The synthetic material minimizes the risk of tissue reaction, promoting optimal healing conditions.
- Enhanced Visibility: The black coloration ensures the suture is easy to see during suturing and knot tying, enhancing precision.
