Description

Suture 4/0 18" Nylon P-3 13 mm is a nonabsorbable sterile surgical suture made from polyamide, known for its high tensile strength and minimal tissue reactivity. As a monofilament suture, it features a smooth, uniform surface that permits easy passage through tissue, reducing drag and minimizing trauma during insertion and removal.

Equipped with a P-3 reverse cutting needle measuring 13 mm in a 3/8 circle configuration, the suture is designed for efficient penetration of dense tissues such as skin and subcutaneous layers. The reverse cutting edge reduces the risk of tissue tearing, and the needle’s non-reflective finish improves visibility under surgical lighting conditions.

This suture is commonly employed in dermatologic, plastic, and general surgical procedures where long-term tensile strength and minimal tissue reactivity are required. The monofilament structure also resists bacterial wicking, making it ideal for use in external skin closures where infection control is essential.
