Frequently asked questions
Does this suture offer antibacterial protection?
Yes, this suture is specifically engineered for antibacterial protection. It is proven in vitro to create a zone of inhibition against key surgical site pathogens, including:
- Staphylococcus aureus
- Staphylococcus epidermidis
- MRSA
- MRSE
Is the material reliable for surgical wound closure?
Absolutely. The suture is constructed from Polyglactin 910, a high-performance synthetic material. Being braided, it offers excellent handling characteristics and superior knot security, ensuring reliable strength during the healing process.
Is the needle designed to reduce tissue trauma?
Yes, it features a CP-2 1/2 circle reverse cutting needle. This specific geometry is precision-engineered to ensure smooth passage through tissue while minimizing trauma during the suturing process.
What is the total length of each suture strand?
Each individual suture strand measures 27 inches (70 cm) in length, providing ample material for various clinical applications.
Are the needles made of high-quality material?
Yes, the CP-2 needles are crafted from high-quality stainless steel, known for its durability and resistance to corrosion in surgical environments.
Is this product suitable for sterile surgical environments?
Yes, the product is provided sterile and adheres to the strict standards required for use in professional nursing and surgical clinical environments.
What does the 2-0 size indicate for this suture?
The 2-0 size refers to the gauge of the suture. In surgical terms, this is a medium-thickness thread commonly used for closure of fascia or other tissues requiring substantial tensile strength.
How many strands are included in the box?
Each box contains 36 strands, ensuring a consistent supply for your facility’s surgical requirements.
Is the Polyglactin 910 material absorbable?
Yes, Polyglactin 910 is a synthetic, absorbable material designed to provide the necessary support during the critical early stages of wound healing, after which it is safely broken down by the body.
Does the needle shape assist with surgical precision?
The 1/2 circle geometry of the CP-2 needle is specifically selected to provide an ideal arc for deep tissue penetration, allowing surgeons to maneuver with greater precision and control.
