Sutures. Silk Thread. 778B 3-0 18" C-26 1/2 Circle 15mm 12/Pk

These nonabsorbable silk sutures feature a braided silk thread designed for superior handling and knot security. Engineered with a half-circle 15mm needle, they ensure precise tissue penetration with minimal trauma during surgical procedures.

• Gauge: 3-0
• Thread length: 18 inches
• Needle type: C-26 1/2 Circle, 15mm
• Pack quantity: 12 sutures per pack
• Material: Black braided silk, noncapillary

Compared to industry standards and prior models, these sutures stand out due to their modern braiding technique, which delivers a consistent smooth surface along with enhanced tensile strength. The sharp cutting edges extend from the needle point to its widest part, significantly reducing tissue drag and promoting smoother insertion. Unlike some alternatives, the needle channel is precisely matched to the suture size, providing reliable and less traumatic passage through tissue.

Key Technical Advantages:

• Enhanced tensile strength from uniform braid construction
• Extra sharp needle edges for reduced tissue drag and injury
• Precisely fitted needle channel tailored to the suture thickness
• Superior handling characteristics for secure knot tying
• Durable nonabsorbable black silk suitable for various surgical applications

Technology and Performance

Utilizing noncapillary black braided silk, these sutures offer excellent knot security and handling necessary for delicate surgical tasks. The advanced braiding process ensures consistency in thread surface and strength, optimizing performance under tension. The needle’s design, featuring extra sharp cutting edges and a smooth curvature, facilitates precise and gentle tissue penetration to minimize trauma. Together, these features position this silk thread suture as a reliable choice for surgeons seeking dependable, durable sutures with proven performance.
