Description

Suture, Polypropylene 4-0 Blue 1X18 PC-3 is a non-absorbable monofilament surgical suture designed for secure wound closure and precise tissue approximation. Manufactured using a specialized extrusion process, the suture maintains a uniformly round cross-section, ensuring smooth passage through tissue with minimal resistance. The monofilament structure reduces capillarity, minimizing the risk of bacterial migration and providing enhanced biocompatibility. Its blue color enhances visibility during surgical procedures, facilitating accurate placement and handling.

This suture is equipped with a PC-3 precision conventional cutting needle, designed to provide optimal penetration through tough or dense tissues. The needle's sharp cutting edge allows for efficient passage while minimizing trauma, making it suitable for use in delicate procedures requiring precise control. Its non-reflective finish ensures improved visibility under surgical lighting, reducing glare and aiding in accurate placement.

Polypropylene sutures exhibit excellent tensile strength and superior knot security with fewer throws, ensuring long-term wound support. The material is biologically inert, resistant to enzymatic degradation, and maintains its integrity over time. This makes it particularly useful in cardiovascular, plastic, and ophthalmic surgeries where prolonged tensile strength retention is essential.
