Description

The Suture, Polysorb 4/0, 18", Undyed, P-13, is a critical component in surgical procedures requiring precise wound closure and long-term tissue support. Made from a synthetic polymer called polyglycolic acid (PGA), Polysorb sutures are absorbable and designed to break down naturally in the body over time, reducing the need for suture removal post-surgery. The undyed nature of the suture minimizes tissue reaction and allows for better visibility during procedures.

With a size of 4/0 (pronounced "four-oh"), indicating its diameter and strength, and a length of 18 inches (approximately 46 cm), this suture is suitable for delicate surgeries requiring fine suturing techniques, such as ophthalmic and plastic surgeries. The P-13 needle configuration provides excellent penetration and handling, ensuring precise placement and knot tying.

Polysorb sutures are known for their smooth passage through tissue, which reduces tissue trauma and inflammation. This characteristic is particularly advantageous in promoting faster healing and reducing the risk of infection. Each suture is individually packaged and sterilized to maintain its integrity and ensure aseptic conditions during surgical procedures.
