Description

Suture, Prolene Mono Blue 6-0 18 P1 is a surgical thread designed for precise and reliable wound closure. The suture material, Prolene Mono, is a synthetic, non-absorbable monofilament made from polypropylene. This composition imparts strength and durability, making it suitable for applications where long-term tissue support is necessary.

The "6-0" designation indicates the fine gauge of the suture, suitable for delicate and intricate surgical procedures. The length of 18 inches (P1) provides ample material for various surgical applications, offering flexibility to the surgeon.

The distinctive blue color aids visibility during surgery, enhancing the surgeon's ability to work with precision. This feature is particularly valuable in procedures where clarity and accuracy in suturing are crucial.
