Description

Precision reverse cutting black nylon monofilament suture, size 5-0, 18", DS18 N, is a nonabsorbable surgical suture designed for optimal wound closure. Manufactured from polyamide, this monofilament suture exhibits high tensile strength, ensuring secure wound approximation and prolonged wound support. Its smooth surface allows for effortless passage through tissue, reducing the risk of drag and friction.

Equipped with a precision reverse cutting needle, this suture is designed to penetrate tough, dense tissues with minimal trauma. The needle’s cutting edge is positioned on the outer curvature, allowing for controlled, precise suturing. The non-reflective finish enhances visibility under bright surgical lighting, ensuring accurate placement. The 3/8 circle curvature of the needle provides an optimal balance of maneuverability and penetration efficiency.

The black color of the suture provides high contrast against lighter tissue, enhancing visibility and facilitating easy identification during suturing. The monofilament structure prevents bacterial wicking and reduces the risk of infection, while also maintaining knot security with minimal slippage. These properties make it an effective choice for dermatological, plastic, and ophthalmic procedures.
