Aqmen - AM3328XL - Sutures AM3328XL AqLon Ethilon Type USP 3-0-12 Foils

The Aqmen AM3328XL is a non-absorbable surgical suture designed for permanent wound support. This product consists of individual sterile suture-needle combinations, each packaged in a foil pouch. The suture material is composed of Polyamide 6 and 6/6, presented in a black color.

It is manufactured to USP 3-0 size, with a suture length of 110 centimeters. Each unit is paired with a 26 mm needle featuring a 3/8 circle reverse cutting geometry. The packaging contains 12 such sterile units per box, making it suitable for clinical settings requiring multiple sterile suture-needle combinations.

The non-absorbable nature of the polyamide material ensures long-term tensile strength retention within the tissue, which is critical for applications demanding sustained wound closure and support. The Ethilon type designation indicates a monofilament construction, which generally offers a smooth passage through tissue and reduced drag. The reverse cutting needle design is characterized by a triangular point with the cutting edge on the outer curve, facilitating penetration through tougher tissues while minimizing the risk of tissue cut-through.

The 3/8 circle curvature is a common needle shape, providing good maneuverability in various surgical fields. The 26 mm needle length offers a balance between control and reach for precise suturing. The black coloration of the suture can aid in visualization during surgical procedures, particularly in certain tissue types or lighting conditions.

The permanent wound support provided by this suture makes it appropriate for a range of surgical closures where long-term tissue approximation is required. The sterile foil packaging ensures the integrity and sterility of each suture-needle unit until the point of use, adhering to standard medical device packaging protocols. Proper handling and aseptic techniques are essential during the use of this product to maintain sterility and prevent complications.

The suture is intended for use by trained medical professionals in a sterile surgical environment. It is important to select the appropriate suture size and needle type based on the specific surgical procedure and tissue characteristics. The product is designed for single use only.

Disposal should be in accordance with institutional guidelines for medical waste.
