Absorbable Suture with Needle Monocryl™ Poliglecaprone PS-2 3/8 Circle Precision Reverse Cutting Needle Size 3 - 0 Monofilament

Monocryl absorbable suture with needle is a monofilament poliglecaprone suture paired with a PS-2 3/8 circle precision reverse cutting needle. It may fit veterinary and surgical workflows where buyers want an absorbable option noted for less tissue reaction than chromic gut, less tissue drag, and no fraying. This version uses a size 3 - 0 undyed suture with a 19 mm stainless steel needle and a 27 inch suture length.
