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, as well as cardiovascular, ophthalmic, dermatological, and neurological procedures.
Sutures are made of monofilament long-chain aliphatic polymers Nylon type 6 or Nylon type 6/6. This material ensures that each suture is of uniform diameter, with excellent knot security. 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® 947B Monofilament Nylon, Sharpoint® Monofilament Nylon, and Covidien® MONOSOFT®.
CP Medical Suture Needles are swaged, which means that the suture thread is run directly at the end of the needle, rather than being threaded through a needle eye. This makes it a time saver for medical professionals as it eliminates the need to tie a suture. This also 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.
The sutures are dyed black with reverse cutting needles. 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. Size 4-0 is suitable for large vessel repair or skin closure. Available in 12 per box.
