Description

Prolene Monofilament Suture, Blue, Size 3-0, 30", with FSL Reverse Cutting Needle, is a nonabsorbable surgical suture designed for soft tissue approximation and ligation. It is composed of a synthetic, inert polypropylene polymer, which provides long-term tensile strength and minimal tissue reactivity. The monofilament structure ensures a smooth passage through tissues, reducing trauma during placement.

The reverse cutting FSL needle included with the suture features a sharp edge designed to penetrate dense, fibrous tissue with minimal resistance. This makes the suture suitable for procedures requiring precision and strength, such as cardiovascular, ophthalmic, and neurological surgeries. The suture’s nonabsorbable nature ensures that tensile integrity is retained indefinitely unless removed.

The suture is dyed blue, enhancing visibility against tissue to aid in placement and removal. Its non-adherent characteristics minimize the likelihood of tissue ingrowth, making it well-suited for external skin closure, where ease of removal is critical. The consistent diameter and strength of the suture support secure knot tying and stability under tension.
