Description

Suture 6/0 18" Nylon P-13 13 mm is a sterile, nonabsorbable monofilament suture composed of polyamide, commonly referred to as nylon. It is designed for precise soft tissue approximation and closure, particularly in delicate surgical applications where fine control, minimal tissue reaction, and high tensile strength are essential.

The nylon material provides excellent tensile strength with minimal elasticity, allowing for secure knot placement and wound edge approximation. Its monofilament structure results in a smooth, uniform surface that facilitates easy passage through tissue while reducing drag and minimizing the risk of bacterial harboring.

The suture is equipped with a reverse cutting needle, P-13, measuring 13 mm in length and featuring a 3/8 circle configuration. This needle type is well suited for use in tough or keratinized tissues, such as skin, due to its triangular cross-section that cuts cleanly through tissue layers. The non-reflective finish enhances visibility under surgical lighting, ensuring precise needle placement during procedures.
