Good Fit For

• General soft tissue approximation and ligation
• Skin closure workflows
• Cardiovascular procedures
• Ophthalmic and neurological procedures

Key Features

• Nonabsorbable polypropylene monofilament for soft tissue approximation and ligation
• PC-1 3/8 circle precision conventional cutting needle supports controlled needle handling
• Blue suture color helps improve visibility during placement and removal
• Non-adherent to tissue, making it a practical choice for skin closure
• Indefinite tensile strength retention for applications that call for a nonabsorbable suture
• Size 6-0 suture with 18 inch length and one 13 mm stainless steel needle

Applications and Usage

• Closing skin where a non-adherent blue monofilament suture may aid removal
• General soft tissue approximation when a nonabsorbable suture is preferred
• Ligation tasks that call for polypropylene monofilament
• Procedure setups requiring a 3/8 circle precision conventional cutting needle

Packaging and Handling

• Packaging: BX.
• Size: 13 mm.
• Material: Stainless Steel.
• This is a nonabsorbable suture, so it is intended for applications where ongoing tensile strength retention is appropriate.
• The needle is a precision conventional cutting style; needle type selection should match the tissue and procedural preference.
