Description

The Suture, Nylon 6-0 Black 1X18 PS-3 is a nonabsorbable, monofilament surgical suture composed of polyamide. This material provides a high level of tensile strength, ensuring secure wound closure with minimal risk of suture breakage. The monofilament construction reduces tissue drag, allowing for smooth passage through delicate structures without excessive resistance or trauma.

The reverse cutting needle incorporated in this suture is designed for precision in suturing dense or fibrous tissues. With its sharp, cutting edge, the needle efficiently penetrates tissue layers with minimal force, reducing unnecessary tissue damage. The 3/8 circle curvature provides optimal control, facilitating precise suturing even in restricted surgical areas.

Due to its low tissue reactivity, Nylon 6-0 is commonly used in procedures where minimal inflammatory response is required. Its smooth, nonporous surface prevents tissue ingrowth, making it an excellent choice for skin closure, microsurgical applications, and ophthalmic procedures. It also exhibits excellent knot security, ensuring reliable wound approximation.
