Product Overview

Monofilament Stainless Steel
Steel - 88862495-89


Device Description

A single-strand (monofilament), non-bioabsorbable wire made of metal (e.g., surgical steel, titanium) intended to join (approximate) the edges of a soft-tissue wound or incision by stitching (e.g., for abdominal wound closure, intestinal anastomosis, hernia repair), or transosseous (through bone) stitching (e.g., sternal closure); it may include an attached disposable device(s) [e.g., needle, passer] intended to facilitate suture application. It is used primarily in orthopaedic, neurosurgical, and thoracic applications and provides temporary wound support until the wound sufficiently heals to withstand normal stress; it may be retained for permanent support. This is a single-use device.
