Product Overview
McKesson S663GX Nonabsorbable Suture with Needle
The McKesson S663GX is a high-quality nonabsorbable nylon monofilament suture paired with a C-14 3/8 circle reverse cutting needle, designed for precision and durability in wound closure. This suture is ideal for procedures requiring long-term tissue support, as it resists absorption and maintains tensile strength over time.
Key Features:
- Material: Monofilament nylon for smooth passage through tissue and reduced risk of infection.
- Needle Type: C-14 3/8 circle reverse cutting needle for precise, controlled suturing in tough tissues.
- Suture Size: 3-0 (USP standard), balancing strength and flexibility.
- Nonabsorbable: Remains intact in the body, requiring eventual removal unless used in deep tissues.
- Sterile: Individually packaged to ensure safety and sterility.
Specifications:
- Length: Standard suture length (varies by pack).
- Needle Shape: 3/8 circle for optimal maneuverability.
- Needle Point: Reverse cutting for clean penetration in dense tissue (e.g., skin, tendons).
- Packaging: Single-use, sterile blister pack.
Suggested Use:
This suture is commonly used in general surgery, dermatology, and orthopedic procedures where strong, long-term wound support is needed. It is particularly effective for skin closures, tendon repairs, and areas requiring minimal tissue reaction. Always follow aseptic techniques and remove sutures once the wound has healed (typically 7–14 days for skin).
Note: Consult product labeling and clinical guidelines for specific application instructions.
