Description
The Prolene Monofilament Suture, colored in a distinctive blue, sized 6-0 with an 18mm Precision Point needle (abbreviated as 6-0, 18 PC-1), is a specialized medical thread used for suturing wounds during surgical procedures. Prolene is a synthetic, non-absorbable material that offers high tensile strength and excellent tissue support.
With a thickness of 6-0, this suture is suitable for fine and delicate wound closure, providing strength while minimizing tissue trauma. The 18mm Precision Point needle enhances precision during suturing, making it applicable for various surgical applications.
The blue color of the Prolene suture provides enhanced visibility against different tissue types, aiding surgeons in maintaining accuracy during the suturing process. Being non-absorbable, Prolene sutures remain in place for an extended period, providing long-term wound support.
PROLENE Suture is indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, including use in cardiovascular, ophthalmic and neurological procedures.
