The CP Medical Monomid® Non-Absorbable Sutures with Reverse Cutting Needles, 3/8 Circle are sterile, synthetic surgical sutures intended for use in soft tissue approximation and ligation, and cardiovascular, ophthalmic, dermatological, and neurological procedures.
Made of nylon monofilaments of uniform diameter, these sutures are smooth and flexible with minimal memory. The smooth surface also reduces the risk of infection. These non-absorbable sutures are also suitable for longer-term wound closures and veterinary use. Monomid® Sutures are equivalent to Ethicon® ETHILON®, Look® Monofilament Nylon, and the Covidien® MONOSOFT® Sutures.
The sutures are black in color, with swaged reverse cutting needles. They are available in various sizes and suture lengths for multiple suggested usage indication. Reverse cutting needles are strong and sharp, with a reduced risk of cutout as the cutting edge is opposite the pull of the wound. They are ideal for tough tissue such as skin, tendons, or oral mucosa. Swaged needles mean that the suture thread is run directly at the end of the needle, rather than being threaded through a needle eye. This makes the suture thread more secure, with less handling and better suture integrity. It also causes less tissue trauma due to its narrower swage join. Size 5-0 is excellent for larger vessel repair, such as an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm , while 6-0 is commonly used in vascular graft sewing. Available in 12 per box.
