This 4/0, 10" Nylon Black Monofilament Non-absorbable Suture is expertly designed for precision and strength in delicate wound closure. The 4/0 size offers a balance of fine tensile strength and control, making it ideal for use in areas requiring a high degree of accuracy, such as dermatologic procedures, plastic surgery, and reconstructive surgery.
Constructed from black nylon, this non-absorbable monofilament suture provides long-term support, ensuring wound integrity without the need for removal. The monofilament design minimizes tissue drag and reduces the risk of infection, as it is less likely to harbor bacteria compared to braided sutures. The black color enhances visibility during surgical procedures, ensuring precise handling and easy identification.
At 10 inches in length, the suture offers ample material for a range of suturing tasks, allowing flexibility and control when performing wound closure.
The suture is paired with a cuticular reverse cutting C-6 needle (3/8 circle), specially designed for skin and soft tissue closure. The reverse-cutting needle features three cutting edges on the inside of the curve, which provide smooth penetration through tougher skin layers with minimal tissue trauma. The 3/8 circle curvature allows for precise maneuvering and controlled needle placement, making it ideal for close, meticulous work in areas like the skin or dermis.
This suture and needle combination is perfect for skin suturing, offering an excellent balance of strength and precision for a variety of applications in dermatologic and cosmetic surgeries.
