Description

The Suture, 3/0 18 CTD Vic Und Br PS, is specifically designed for general soft tissue approximation and ligation applications. This suture is versatile and suitable for use in a variety of surgical fields, including ophthalmic procedures, though it is not intended for use in cardiovascular or neurological tissues.

Its primary applications include general tissue and muscle approximation, ligatures, and procedures involving the reproductive tract and orthopedic surgeries, where it serves as a secondary choice.

The suture is engineered to facilitate ease of knot tying, offering reliable knot security on the first throw. This feature is crucial for maintaining stability during and after the surgical procedure, ensuring that the suture performs effectively and securely throughout the healing process. The ease of knotting enhances the overall efficiency of the surgical technique, contributing to successful outcomes.

A notable characteristic of this suture is its tensile strength retention. It experiences a loss of 50% tensile strength after three weeks, which is an important consideration for long-term tissue support.
