Skin Closure
The Sharpoint™ Nonabsorbable Suture with Needle (QUI-J8698N) offers a high-quality, reliable solution for wound closure. This suture is made from polypropylene, a synthetic nonabsorbable material known for its high tensile strength and minimal tissue reactivity. The 5-0 size and precision reverse cutting needle design make it suitable for a wide range of surgical applications, particularly those requiring fine suturing techniques and lasting wound support.
Features and Benefits:
- Nonabsorbable Polypropylene Material: This suture is constructed from a monofilament polypropylene material, ensuring long-term durability and strength. It provides excellent tensile strength retention, making it ideal for applications where prolonged support is needed.
- Minimal Tissue Reaction: Polypropylene is known for its biocompatibility and minimal tissue reactivity, making it a preferred choice for patients with sensitivities or allergies to other suture materials. This helps to minimize inflammation and promote optimal healing.
- Monofilament Construction: The smooth, monofilament structure of this suture allows for easy passage through tissue, minimizing tissue drag and reducing trauma during suturing. The smooth surface also helps to prevent bacterial colonization, reducing the risk of infection.
- Size 5-0 for Precision Work: The 5-0 size suture is well-suited for delicate surgical procedures that require precise wound closure, such as vascular, ophthalmic, and plastic surgeries. It allows for accurate tissue approximation in areas where finer suturing is necessary.
- 3/8 Circle Precision Reverse Cutting Needle: Equipped with a 3/8 circle reverse cutting needle, this suture is designed for ease of penetration and precise handling in various tissue types. The reverse cutting edge enhances the ability to pass through tougher tissues with minimal effort and without causing excessive trauma.
- Secure Knot Tying: The polypropylene material ensures secure knotting, which is crucial for maintaining wound integrity and preventing dehiscence. The knots remain tight and secure, providing reliable wound closure throughout the healing process.
