Description

The Monosof Suture, Black, Size 4-0, 18", C-13 Needle, 01K, is a non-absorbable surgical suture designed for soft-tissue approximation and ligation. Manufactured from nylon, it features a monofilament construction that provides a single, continuous strand. The suture is uncoated and black in color, allowing visual identification during surgical handling. Its non-absorbable composition provides sustained tensile support after implantation, making it suitable for procedures requiring prolonged wound support or subsequent suture removal.

Monosof sutures are composed of long-chain aliphatic polymers, including Nylon 6. The material maintains a high level of elasticity after implantation and elicits a low inflammatory response. Its monofilament structure supports smooth passage through tissue and limits the interstices associated with multifilament sutures. These characteristics make it suitable for various surgical applications involving soft-tissue closure and ligation.

The suture measures 18 inches in length and is supplied in size 4-0. It is attached to a C-13 needle measuring 19 mm, featuring a 3/8-circle curvature and reverse-cutting point. This needle configuration facilitates tissue penetration and is appropriate for procedures involving tissues that require controlled needle passage. The black suture material provides visibility against surrounding tissue during placement.
