Key Features:

• Reverse Cutting Needle: The FS-2 needle is designed for optimal penetration and minimizing tissue trauma, especially in tight spaces and delicate tissues.
• Polypropylene Monofilament: Offers exceptional tensile strength and minimizes the risk of infection due to its non-absorbable and smooth surface.
• Enhanced Visibility: The blue hue of the suture stands out against tissue, aiding in surgical precision.
• Non-Absorbable Durability: Ensures long-term tissue approximation without the concern of premature suture degradation.

Advantages:

• Reduced Tissue Drag: Smooth monofilament design allows for easier suture placement and adjustment, crucial in procedures like plastic surgery, microvascular, and neural surgery.
• High Tensile Strength: Maintains tensile strength for prolonged periods, suitable for cardiovascular procedures where durability is critical.
• Minimal Tissue Reaction: Polypropylene’s inert properties reduce the potential for inflammatory response, making it ideal for implantation and internal suturing in orthopedic and cosmetic surgeries.
• Versatility: Widely used by medical professionals across various disciplines, including dental surgeries for periodontal procedures, and by ophthalmologists in eye surgeries where precision is paramount.
