OPTILENE 4/0 (1,5) 45CM DS19 (M) Suture - Non-Absorbable Polypropylene

The OPTILENE 4/0 (1,5) 45CM DS19 (M) suture is a premium, non-absorbable monofilament surgical suture, expertly designed for dependable tissue approximation and ligation across a wide range of surgical disciplines.

Crafted from high-grade polypropylene, this suture offers exceptional tensile strength, minimal tissue drag, and superior knot security, ensuring optimal patient outcomes.

Product Details

OPTILENE sutures, manufactured by Ethicon, a leader in surgical technologies, are renowned for their consistent quality and performance.

This specific suture features a 4/0 (1,5 metric) gauge and a convenient 45cm length, pre-attached to a DS19 needle.

The monofilament construction of OPTILENE minimizes bacterial colonization and allows for smooth passage through tissues, reducing trauma and promoting optimal healing conditions.

It is ideal for procedures requiring long-term wound support.

Benefits of Use

• Exceptional tensile strength provides secure, long-lasting tissue support.
• Monofilament design ensures smooth passage through tissue, minimizing trauma and reducing the risk of infection.
• Excellent knot security allows for precise and stable wound closure.
• Biologically inert polypropylene material elicits minimal tissue reaction, enhancing biocompatibility.
• Non-absorbable nature provides permanent tissue support for critical closures.
• Pre-attached DS19 needle (typically 19mm, 3/8 circle, reverse cutting) offers precision and ease of handling for various surgical needs.

How to Use

1. Inspect the sterile package for integrity before opening.
2. Open the package carefully under sterile conditions, presenting the suture to the sterile field.
3. Handle the suture and needle with appropriate surgical instruments (e.g., needle holders, forceps).
4. Pass the needle through the tissue planes as required for the surgical procedure, ensuring proper tissue approximation.
5. Tie knots securely according to standard surgical techniques, utilizing the excellent knotting properties of OPTILENE.
6. Trim excess suture material as per surgical protocol.
7. Dispose of used suture material and needle in appropriate sharps containers.

Caution & Warnings

• This device is for single use only. Do not re-sterilize or reuse.
• Do not use if the package is opened or damaged, as sterility may be compromised.
• Store at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and moisture.
• Ensure proper surgical technique and knotting for optimal performance.
• The choice of suture size and type should be based on the patient's condition, surgical site, and surgeon's preference.
• Adverse reactions may include wound dehiscence due to insufficient knotting or excessive tension, or local tissue irritation in susceptible patients.
• This product should only be used by trained medical professionals.
