Description

Nylon Suture, Size 5/0, with an 18-inch length and P-3 reverse cutting needle, is a sterile, nonabsorbable monofilament suture composed of polyamide. It offers high tensile strength and minimal tissue reactivity, making it suitable for delicate soft tissue approximation. The smooth surface of the monofilament structure allows for clean passage through tissue, minimizing trauma during placement.

The attached P-3 needle is a 13 mm, 3/8 circle reverse cutting needle, designed for optimal performance in fine tissue repair, particularly in ophthalmic or plastic surgery. Its sharp cutting edge enables it to penetrate tough or keratinized tissue without tearing. The reverse cutting configuration helps reduce the risk of needle pull-through, especially in high-tension areas.

A non-reflective finish on the needle enhances visibility under surgical lighting, facilitating accurate placement and reducing surgeon fatigue. This feature proves especially beneficial in procedures requiring high precision, such as facial, hand, or microsurgical applications. The needle's compact size supports precise control in narrow surgical fields.
