Description

Surgical Suture, Nylon Size 6-0, 18" Thread With 13 mm 3/8 Reverse Cut Black is a nonabsorbable monofilament suture composed of long-chain aliphatic polymers known as nylon. It is specifically engineered for minimal tissue reactivity and is suitable for general soft tissue approximation, particularly in skin closure and microsurgical applications.

Nylon is characterized by low tissue reactivity and high biocompatibility. The black coloration of the suture ensures high visibility under surgical lighting, which improves accuracy during placement and monitoring in postoperative care. The 18-inch length provides adequate coverage for both superficial and intermediate wound depths.

The attached 13 mm needle features a 3/8 circle reverse cutting design. Its cutting edge along the outer curve enables efficient penetration through tough or fibrous tissues such as skin. Manufactured from stainless steel, the needle ensures strength and sharpness, facilitating precision during delicate surgical procedures.
