Why choose a PROLENE® monofilament 7-0 gauge suture?
The 7-0 gauge and monofilament polypropylene structure allow particularly fine sutures to be created. The non-absorbable thread ensures lasting support, whilst its regular surface promotes smooth tissue passage.
What does the double needle assembly of reference 8704H mean?
The thread is equipped with a needle at each of its ends. This doubly armed configuration facilitates techniques requiring progression in two directions, particularly during certain vascular sutures and anastomoses.
What is the particularity of CC Tapercut Micro Point needles?
The 9.3 mm CC needles combine a 3/8 circle curve with a Tapercut Micro Point tip designed for precise and controlled penetration. MULTIPASS® technology supports the successive passages required for delicate surgical procedures.
