Key Features
- Conventional Cutting Sternum Needle
- Maximum tensile strength - stainless steel sutures provide the highest breaking strength available in a surgical suture, ideal for closures under significant mechanical stress.
- Nonabsorbable and permanent - stainless steel is not degraded by biological processes, maintaining tensile strength indefinitely in tissue.
- Minimal tissue reactivity - stainless steel is highly biocompatible with minimal inflammatory response, reducing suture-related tissue complications.
- Monofilament construction - smooth single-strand design reduces bacterial harboring and tissue drag during placement.
- Sterile and single-use - individually packaged in sterile conditions for immediate clinical use.
- Cutting Needle Design - the cutting edge reduces insertion force, enabling precise needle placement through tough tissue layers.
