Nylon Monofilament Ophthalmic Sutures USP 8/0 – 12 Pcs with Needle

Product Description

The Stellmacher Nylon Monofilament Ophthalmic Surgical Sutures USP 8/0 are fine, non-absorbable sutures made from premium Polyamide 6/6.6 nylon. Featuring a smooth black monofilament thread and a precision 6mm, 3/8-circle round-bodied surgical needle, these sutures are designed for controlled needle handling, smooth tissue passage, and delicate soft tissue approximation.

Each suture features 45cm (18 inches) of black nylon thread attached to a stainless steel surgical needle. The fine USP 8/0 (0.4 Metric) configuration supports precise stitch placement and careful tissue handling in selected ophthalmic and microsurgical applications. Supplied in sterile, single-use packaging, with 12 sutures per box.

Key Features

• Fine USP 8/0 Ophthalmic Sutures: 0.4 Metric suture size supports delicate tissue approximation and precise stitch placement in suitable ophthalmic procedures.
• Premium Nylon Monofilament: Polyamide 6/6.6 material provides a smooth, flexible, single-strand construction with reliable tensile strength.
• Non-Absorbable Suture Material: Designed to provide continued tissue support without being intentionally absorbed by the body.
• 6mm Round-Bodied Needle: Fine stainless steel needle with a tapered, non-cutting profile for controlled passage through suitable delicate soft tissues.
• 3/8-Circle Needle Curvature: Compact curved configuration supports controlled needle placement and maneuverability during precision suturing.
• 45cm Black Suture Thread: Provides visual contrast, practical working length, and smooth monofilament handling.
• Low Capillarity: Single-strand nylon structure limits fluid wicking compared with many braided suture materials.
• EO Sterilized & Single Use: Sterile, single-use sutures supplied in a convenient box of 12.

Applications & Usage

• Ophthalmic Surgery: Suitable for consideration in selected delicate ophthalmic tissue approximation procedures where USP 8/0 non-absorbable nylon sutures and round-bodied needle geometry are indicated.
• Ophthalmic Microsurgery: Fine monofilament thread and compact 6mm needle configuration support controlled handling during appropriate precision ophthalmic suturing techniques.
• Delicate Soft Tissue Closure: Round-bodied needle design supports careful passage through suitable soft tissues without the cutting edges of a reverse-cutting needle.
• Microsurgical Procedures: Fine USP 8/0 suture diameter supports precise needle manipulation and tissue approximation in selected microsurgical techniques.
• Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery: May be selected for appropriate fine soft tissue closure procedures requiring small-diameter, non-absorbable nylon sutures.
• Ophthalmic Surgical Training: Supports fine suturing practice, precise needle control, and microsurgical knot-tying exercises on compatible training models, where consistent with the product's intended use.

Professional Use: Product selection and clinical application should be performed by appropriately trained healthcare professionals according to the surgical procedure, tissue requirements, approved intended use, product instructions, and applicable clinical protocols.
