Description

Suture 4/0 18" PGCL 13 mm AD Surgical is a sterile, absorbable monofilament suture composed of polyglycolide-co-caprolactone (PGCL), a synthetic copolymer known for its excellent flexibility, minimal tissue drag, and reliable absorption profile. The suture is designed to provide smooth passage through tissue and maintain adequate tensile strength during the critical wound healing phase.

The monofilament structure significantly reduces tissue trauma and inflammatory response compared to braided alternatives. Its smooth surface lowers the risk of bacterial colonization and promotes favorable healing, making it suitable for internal soft tissue approximation and subcuticular closures where precision and reduced foreign body reaction are essential.

The 13 mm needle size and 4/0 gauge provide a balanced combination for general soft tissue suturing, particularly in plastic, dermatologic, and gynecological procedures. The 18-inch length offers adequate working span for small to medium incisions, while maintaining optimal control and knot security in confined surgical fields.
