6-0 x 18″ Prolene Clear Polypropylene Monofilament Sutures with P-1 Needle – 12/Box (8606G)

• A non-absorbable, sterile surgical suture made of monofilament polypropylene, this 6-0 gauge suture is undyed (clear) and comes equipped with a P-1 Precision Point needle, which features a reverse cutting edge for precise tissue penetration

Uses

• General Soft Tissue:

• Indicated for approximation and ligation of soft tissues

• Specialized Procedures:

• Widely trusted for over 40 years in cardiovascular, ophthalmic, and neurological surgeries

• Skin Closure:

• Its non-adherent surface makes it an ideal choice for skin closure where easy, trauma-free removal is required

• Delicate Work:

• The fine 6-0 size is specifically used for procedures requiring minimal scarring and fine suturing

Features

• MULTIPASS Needle:

• Uses an alloy and coating that ensures sharpness and strength through multiple passes in tough tissue

• Monofilament Structure:

• A single-strand construction that smoothly passes through tissue and reduces the risk of bacterial “wicking”

• Precision Point Needle:

• The P-1 needle (11 mm, 3/8 circle) provides exceptional control and accuracy during delicate procedures

• Permanent Tensile Strength:

• The polypropylene material does not degrade over time, providing indefinite wound support

Benefits

• Minimal Tissue Reactivity:

• It is biologically inert, resulting in extremely low inflammation or allergic response

• Reduced Tissue Trauma:

• The smooth surface and sharp reverse cutting edge minimize drag and trauma during needle passage

• Cosmetic Results:

• The undyed, clear filament is nearly invisible, providing excellent cosmetic results in visible facial or plastic surgery areas

• Reliability:

• Offers secure knot tying and high plasticity to accommodate tissue swelling during the healing process
