Product Details
McKesson Polyglycolic Acid Absorbable Suture with P-12 Precision Reverse Cutting Needle, 5-0, 30 Inch, BX/36EA provides a fine-gauge synthetic absorbable option for professional soft-tissue approximation and ligation. Its undyed braided polyglycolic acid construction features a smooth, low-friction coating designed to reduce tissue drag during placement.
Each 30-inch suture is attached to one 19 mm alloy P-12 needle with a 3/8-circle curvature and precision reverse-cutting point. The sterile, single-use sutures are individually packaged, with 36 units supplied per box.
