J & J Healthcare Systems Nonabsorbable Suture with Needle Prolene™ Polypropylene STC-6 Straight Reverse Cutting Needle Size 10-0 Monofilament, 12/BX

Nonabsorbable Suture with Needle Prolene™ Polypropylene STC-6 Straight Reverse Cutting Needle Size 10-0 Monofilament, 12/BX

Prolene nonabsorbable suture with needle is a sterile polypropylene monofilament suture for soft tissue approximation and ligation. Buyers may choose it for cardiovascular, ophthalmic, neurological, and skin closure workflows where a non-adherent suture and visible blue color can support handling and removal. This configuration uses a straight reverse cutting needle and a size 10-0 suture.

Good Fit For

• Cardiovascular procedures
• Ophthalmic procedures
• Neurological procedures
• Skin closure workflows

Key Features

• Nonabsorbable polypropylene monofilament supports soft tissue approximation and ligation
• Straight reverse cutting needle suits procedures that call for that needle profile
• Blue suture color helps with visibility during placement and removal
• Non-adherent to tissue, making it a practical option for skin closure
• Indefinite tensile strength retention for applications that require nonabsorbable support
• Sterile sutures help support procedural readiness

Applications and Usage

• General soft tissue approximation
• Ligation
• Skin closure where a non-adherent suture is preferred
• Procedures where blue suture visibility can aid removal

Packaging and Handling

• Packaging: BX.
• Size: 16 mm.
• Material: Stainless Steel.
• Sterility: Sterile.
• This is a nonabsorbable suture, so it is intended for applications where ongoing tensile strength retention is desired.
• The needle is straight with a reverse cutting design; confirm that needle style matches surgeon preference and technique.
• The suture size is 10-0, which is a very fine gauge selected for specific procedural needs.
