This suture is designed for general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, including use in various surgical specialties. Its undyed color ensures minimal tissue reaction and enhances visibility during procedures. Equipped with a 19 mm, 3/8 circle PS-2 reverse cutting needle, the Y496G suture offers excellent control and precision during tissue penetration. The reverse cutting needle design ensures a sharp cutting edge on the outer curvature, reducing the risk of tissue tearing and providing greater control during suturing. The 18-inch (45 cm) length provides ample working space for various surgical applications. As an absorbable suture, the Y496G maintains its strength for approximately 90 to 120 days, 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 12, ensuring a sufficient supply for surgical procedures.
