Ethicon Prolene Sutures USP 6-0, 3/8 Circle P-1 Prime - 8606G -12 Foils

This product is a non-absorbable surgical suture composed of a synthetic monofilament made from polypropylene. It is designed for use in a variety of surgical procedures where a strong, reliable closure is required and tissue support is needed for an extended period. The suture is colored blue for enhanced visibility during surgical manipulation.

Each unit contains a 45 cm length of USP 6-0 diameter suture attached to an 11 mm, 3/8 circle Prime P-1 needle. The needle is crafted from stainless steel, ensuring appropriate sharpness and strength for tissue penetration. The combination of the fine suture diameter and the small, precise needle allows for delicate tissue handling and minimal tissue trauma, which is particularly important in microsurgery and procedures involving fine anatomical structures.

The inherent properties of polypropylene, including its high tensile strength and inertness within the body, contribute to its suitability for long-term wound support. The suture material does not degrade or lose its tensile strength over time, providing permanent support until it is intentionally removed or the tissue has achieved sufficient healing.
