Description

The PROLENE™ Monofilament Suture, Blue, Size 10-0, 8", with STC-6 needle is a nonabsorbable sterile surgical suture composed of isotactic crystalline polypropylene. It is designed for use in delicate soft tissue approximation and ligation where long-term tensile strength is required. The monofilament structure ensures minimal tissue reactivity and smooth passage through tissue with reduced drag.

This suture is commonly used in cardiovascular, ophthalmic, and neurological procedures. Its extremely fine gauge and consistent diameter make it suitable for microsurgical applications that demand precision and reliability. The suture’s non-adherent nature helps prevent tissue ingrowth, making it ideal for situations where suture removal is required.

The STC-6 needle is a spatulated ophthalmic needle with a 3/8 circle curvature, specifically designed for fine tissue work in confined areas such as eye surgery. The flat profile of the spatula needle facilitates accurate placement and precise control during delicate procedures.
