Benefits of Use

• Exceptional tensile strength and knot security for reliable and durable wound closure.


• Smooth passage through tissue with minimal drag, attributed to its monofilament structure, reducing tissue trauma.


• Constructed from an inert material (polypropylene) that elicits minimal tissue reaction, thereby reducing inflammation and potential for infection.


• Non-absorbable nature ensures permanent tissue support, crucial for long-term wound integrity.


• Features a high visibility blue dye for easy identification and precise placement within the surgical field.


• Manufactured by Ethicon, ensuring consistent quality, sterility, and performance in surgical settings.

How to Use

1. Preparation: Maintain strict aseptic technique throughout the procedure. Carefully open the sterile package immediately prior to use.


2. Handling: Grasp the needle firmly with a suitable needle holder. Exercise care to avoid damaging the needle point or its surface.


3. Suturing: Pass the needle through the intended tissues following established surgical techniques. Ensure proper tension and precise knot placement to achieve secure wound closure.


4. Knot Tying: Utilize appropriate surgical knots to secure the suture. Due to the smooth surface of polypropylene sutures, additional throws may be required to ensure maximum knot security.


5. Disposal: Promptly dispose of all used suture material and needles in designated sharps containers, adhering to medical waste disposal protocols.

Caution & Warnings

• Sterility: This product is supplied sterile. Do not re-sterilize. Discard immediately if the package is opened or damaged prior to use.


• Single Use: This product is strictly for single use only. Reuse may compromise sterility and performance, posing risks to the patient.


• Handling: Avoid crushing, kinking, or crimping the suture material with surgical instruments, as this can weaken the suture and lead to premature failure.


• Patient Selection: The appropriate selection of suture material, size, and needle type is dependent on the patient's specific condition, the nature of the tissue being repaired, and the surgeon's clinical judgment and experience.


• Adverse Reactions: Potential adverse reactions may include wound dehiscence, localized infection, and tissue irritation, which are considerations with any foreign body implantation.


• Storage: Store the product at controlled room temperature, in a dry environment, and away from direct heat or sunlight to maintain product integrity.
