Description

Maxon Clear Suture, Size 6/0, 18", P-13 Needle is a synthetic absorbable monofilament suture composed of polyglyconate. It offers extended wound support due to its high initial tensile strength and slow absorption profile. The suture maintains approximately 50% of its tensile strength at four weeks post-implantation, providing reliable support for prolonged tissue healing.

The suture is designed for minimal tissue reactivity, reducing the risk of inflammatory responses. It is particularly suitable for delicate procedures where soft tissue support and predictable absorption are critical. The monofilament structure allows for smooth passage through tissue, minimizing trauma and enhancing knot security.

The P-13 needle, made of stainless steel, features a 3/8 circle reverse cutting configuration, ideal for precision in confined or delicate anatomical areas. This needle design facilitates controlled and efficient penetration with reduced risk of tissue tearing, especially in ophthalmic, microsurgical, and plastic surgical applications.
