Frequently asked questions
Does this suture provide active infection protection?
Yes. This suture is specially designed with antibacterial technology that creates a zone of inhibition. It is proven in vitro to inhibit the colonization of major pathogens, including:
- Staphylococcus aureus
- Staphylococcus epidermidis
- MRSA
- MRSE
Is the material reliable for secure wound closure?
Absolutely. The suture is composed of Polyglactin 910, a high-quality synthetic material. Its braided construction is specifically engineered to provide superior handling and enhanced knot security, offering a more reliable hold than many monofilament alternatives.
Does the needle design ensure precise tissue penetration?
Yes, it features a precision-engineered CPX 1/2 circle reverse cutting needle. This 48 mm stainless steel needle is specifically designed for optimal tissue penetration and durable tissue approximation during surgical procedures.
How long is each individual suture strand?
Each suture strand has a length of 27 inches (70 cm), providing ample length for versatile clinical application.
Are these sutures supplied in sterile packaging?
Yes, all units are factory new and sterile. They are individually sealed in professional foil pouches that include clear sterile indicators to ensure product integrity for clinical use.
What is the primary material composition of the suture?
The suture is made from Polyglactin 910, a synthetic, absorbable material known for its consistent performance and reliable degradation profile in wound management.
How many needles are included with each strand?
Each individual unit includes one (1) 48 mm 1/2 circle reverse cutting needle pre-attached to the 27-inch suture strand.
Is this a braided or monofilament style suture?
This is a braided suture. The braided construction is a key feature that provides the clinician with better handling characteristics and increased knot security compared to monofilament types.
What size is this specific suture?
This product is a Size 1 suture, which is standard for procedures requiring robust tissue approximation.
What is the needle's shape and configuration?
The needle is a 1/2 circle reverse cutting needle. This configuration is specifically chosen to provide a high level of control and precision when navigating through various tissue types.
