Description
The Prolene Monofilament Suture, in a blue color, with a size of 5-0 and a length of 18 inches, is a fine non-absorbable surgical suture designed for delicate tissue approximation. Composed of polypropylene, this monofilament suture provides high tensile strength and minimal tissue reactivity. The suture comes with a PC-1 (Precision Cosmetic) needle for precise and controlled stitching.
The 5-0 size is ideal for delicate and cosmetic surgical procedures, offering fine closure capabilities. The 18-inch length provides sufficient material for stitching, ensuring versatility and adaptability in the surgical setting.
The monofilament nature of the Prolene suture reduces tissue drag and enhances smooth passage through tissues, making it suitable for applications where minimal tissue irritation is desired. The blue color aids visibility during surgery.
PROLENE Suture is indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, including use in cardiovascular, ophthalmic and neurological procedures.
