Ethicon Johnson - Y833G - Monocryl Sutures USP 6-0, Skki Needle Cutting Precision Cosmetic PC-1 MultiPass Prime - Y833G -12 Foils

This product is a sterile, absorbable, synthetic monofilament suture composed of polyglecaprone 25. It is designed for approximation of soft tissues where only short-term wound support is required and gradual absorption is desired. The suture is undyed, presenting in its natural color, and has a diameter of USP 6-0.

The material is engineered for predictable tensile strength retention, with approximately 50% to 60% of its original strength remaining at 7 days post-implantation and 20% to 30% remaining at 14 days. Absorption of the suture material is typically completed within 91 to 119 days. The suture is pre-attached to a 13mm Skki Cutting Precision Cosmetic PC-1 MultiPass Prime needle.

This needle is specifically designed for cosmetic and precision applications, featuring a cutting edge geometry that facilitates easier tissue penetration and reduced drag. The MultiPass Prime designation indicates a needle designed for multiple passes through tissue, enhancing efficiency during surgical procedures. The total length of the suture strand is 45cm.

This suture is intended for use by trained medical professionals in surgical settings. Its characteristics make it suitable for a range of applications, particularly in plastic, reconstructive, and general surgery where fine tissue approximation is critical and minimal scarring is a priority. Typical uses include skin closure, subcutaneous tissue approximation, and other delicate tissue manipulations.

It is important to follow standard surgical protocols when handling and using this suture to ensure aseptic technique and proper knot tying. The absorbable nature of the suture eliminates the need for suture removal, which can be beneficial in certain cosmetic procedures. The specific needle design aims to minimize tissue trauma and promote optimal wound healing outcomes.
