Clinical Usage & Performance

 

  • Tissue Handling: The PS-3 needle is designed for precise incisions and controlled insertion in delicate tissues.
  • Absorption: Its absorbable nature removes the need for follow-up suture removal. It is often used for epidermal suturing where support is needed for a short period.
  • Resistance: The chromic treatment provides greater resistance to early absorption compared to plain gut sutures.
  • Contraindications: It should not be used in cardiovascular or neurological tissues.
