Nylon Monofilament Ophthalmic Sutures USP 10/0 – 12 Pcs with Needle

Product Description

The Stellmacher Nylon Monofilament Ophthalmic Surgical Sutures USP 10/0 feature an ultra-fine, non-absorbable black nylon monofilament thread paired with a precision 5mm, 3/8-circle round-bodied surgical needle. This fine suture configuration is designed for controlled needle handling and delicate tissue approximation in specialized microsurgical procedures.

Each suture provides 30cm (approximately 12 inches) of black nylon thread attached to a fine surgical needle. The USP 10/0 (0.2 Metric) size is particularly relevant to precision ophthalmic microsuturing applications requiring small-diameter suture material and careful tissue handling. Supplied in sterile, single-use packaging, with 12 sutures per box.

Key Features

• Ultra-Fine USP 10/0 Suture: 0.2 Metric nylon monofilament for extremely delicate suturing and precise tissue approximation.
• Ophthalmic Microsurgical Configuration: Fine thread and a compact needle designed for controlled handling in suitable ophthalmic and microsurgical applications.
• Non-Absorbable Nylon Monofilament: Smooth, single-strand synthetic nylon material that provides tissue support without being intentionally absorbed by the body.
• 5mm Round-Bodied Needle: Small, non-cutting needle profile designed to separate suitable soft tissues rather than cut through them.
• 3/8-Circle Needle Curvature: Compact curved design supports maneuverability and controlled needle placement in confined operating areas.
• 30cm Black Suture Thread: Offers visual contrast and an appropriate working length for fine suturing techniques.
• Low Capillarity: Monofilament construction limits fluid wicking compared with many braided suture materials.
• EO Sterilized, Pack of 12: Sterile, single-use sutures supplied in convenient box packaging.

Applications & Usage

• Ophthalmic Microsurgery: The ultra-fine USP 10/0 size and compact needle configuration are relevant to selected ophthalmic microsuturing procedures where non-absorbable nylon is indicated.
• Delicate Ocular Tissue Approximation: Fine monofilament material allows precision suturing in appropriately selected delicate tissue applications.
• Microsurgical Tissue Closure: Designed for consideration in fine soft tissue approximation where small suture diameter and controlled needle placement are required.
• Precision Surgical Techniques: The 5mm round-bodied needle supports careful passage through suitable delicate tissue without the cutting edges of a reverse-cutting needle.
• Ophthalmic Surgical Training: Can support microsurgical suturing practice, fine needle manipulation, and knot-tying exercises on compatible training models, where consistent with the product's intended use.
