This monofilament suture is designed for general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, including use in cardiovascular, ophthalmic, and neurological procedures. Its blue color enhances visibility during surgical procedures, aiding in precise placement and knot tying. Equipped with a 36 mm, 1/2 circle CT-1 taper point needle, the 8424H suture offers excellent control and precision during tissue penetration. The taper point needle is ideal for delicate tissues, allowing for smooth passage through the tissue with minimal trauma. The 30-inch (75 cm) length provides ample working space for various surgical applications. As a non-absorbable suture, the 8424H maintains its strength over time, providing continuous support to the tissue until the wound heals sufficiently. Its monofilament nature reduces tissue drag and minimizes the risk of infection, making it suitable for use in contaminated or infected wounds. The suture is sterile and comes in a box of 36, ensuring a sufficient supply for surgical procedures.
