- Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis
- MRSA and MRSE
Is the material reliable for wound closure?
Absolutely. Constructed from Polyglactin 910, this synthetic, braided material is engineered for clinical efficacy. It provides a predictable absorption profile and maintains high tensile strength during the critical healing period.
How does the needle design assist with precision?
The product features a 3/8 circle precision reverse cutting needle. This design is specifically chosen for:
- Clean tissue penetration
- Reliable and accurate wound edge approximation
- Delicate tissue management in tight spaces
Is the braided structure easy to handle?
Yes, the braided construction of the Polyglactin 910 material is specifically designed to provide excellent handling characteristics and ensures secure knot tying during surgical procedures.
What is the specific needle size included?
This unit comes equipped with a 13 mm needle, providing the ideal scale for delicate surgical applications where precision is paramount.
What length of suture is provided per strand?
Each strand in this package measures 18 inches in length, providing ample material for standard wound closure procedures.
Are these sutures sterile for immediate use?
Yes, all sutures arrive sterile and ready for clinical use, ensuring the highest standards of safety and hygiene for surgical environments.
Does the undyed color help in the surgical field?
The undyed color profile is standard for many surgical applications, providing a clean, professional aesthetic that is easily identifiable within the clinical environment.
Is this material considered a synthetic absorbable?
Yes, it is a synthetic absorbable suture. This means you get the benefits of modern manufacturing technology (Polyglactin 910) which offers consistent performance compared to natural absorbable materials.
What is the configuration of this package?
This package is configured for efficiency in the operating room, containing 12 individual strands, each pre-attached to a 13 mm precision reverse cutting needle.
