Engineered as a perfectly smooth extrusion, this monofilament profile minimizes cellular tissue drag and dynamic friction during placement while actively preventing the harboring of bacterial biofilms or capillary fluid tracking often associated with braided filaments, while its undyed presentation ensures complete concealment beneath superficial skin layers to prevent dark suture show-through. Swaged as a single-armed layout to a 19 mm PS-2 (Plastic Surgery-2) style precision reverse cutting needle utilizing advanced MultiPass technology, this configuration smoothly pierces tough epidermal and dermal layers with minimal entry force, making the Z496G an outstanding choice for clean, aesthetic subcuticular skin closures, plastic surgery reconstructions, and general dermatological adaptations requiring extended, long-term absorbable wound support (maintaining approximately 70 percent active tensile strength at 4 weeks and 60 percent at 6 weeks post-op) before transitioning to complete mass absorption within 182 to 238 days via predictable in vivo chemical hydrolysis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eManufacturer Part Number (MPN):\u003c\/b\u003e Z496G\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eProduct Brand Family:\u003c\/b\u003e PDS II Polydioxanone Suture Portfolio \/ Plastic Surgery Series\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eSuture Material Composition:\u003c\/b\u003e Polydioxanone (Synthetic polyester polymer)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eStrand Structural Construction:\u003c\/b\u003e Monofilament (Smooth extrusion profile, zero braiding capillary risks)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,4,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5,4,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eThread Sizing Profile:\u003c\/b\u003e Size 4-0 Suture (Fine USP 4-0 Gauge \/ Metric 1.5)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,5,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5,5,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eSuture Length Dimension:\u003c\/b\u003e 18 inches (45 cm single continuous strand layout)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,6,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5,6,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eColor Pigment Profile:\u003c\/b\u003e Undyed (Clear\/Natural cosmetic profile to eliminate sub-epidermal visualization)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,7,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5,7,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eNeedle Configuration:\u003c\/b\u003e Single-Armed (Swaged to one high-precision needle)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,8,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5,8,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eNeedle Type Classification:\u003c\/b\u003e PS-2 Precision Reverse Cutting \/ Prime Cutting Edge (MultiPass technology)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,9,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5,9,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eNeedle Curvature Geometry:\u003c\/b\u003e 3\/8 Circle curvature tracking radius\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,10,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5,10,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eNeedle Length Profile:\u003c\/b\u003e 19 mm structural length\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,11,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5,11,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003ePackaging Matrix Configuration:\u003c\/b\u003e Standard clinic box containing 12 sterile individual suture packets (G-box small-footprint distribution unit)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,12,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5,12,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eAbsorption Profile Cycle:\u003c\/b\u003e Gradually breaks down via chemical hydrolysis in vivo, yielding complete mass absorption within approximately 182 to 238 days post-implantation\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Ethicon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48596186530017,"sku":null,"price":419.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0021\/0527\/8543\/files\/55490Z496G.png?v=1782494128","url":"https:\/\/primismedical.com\/products\/ethicon-z496g-pds-ii-undyed-monofilament-absorbable-suture-4-0-with-ps-2-needle-box-of-12","provider":"Primis Medical","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
