Frequently asked questions

Does this suture offer protection against infections?

Yes. This suture is proven in vitro to create a zone of inhibition against common surgical site pathogens, including MRSA and MRSE, helping to reduce the risk of surgical site infections.

Is the material reliable for absorption?

Absolutely. It is composed of Polyglactin 910, a synthetic material specifically engineered to provide predictable degradation and consistent absorption during the healing process.

What kind of needle is included for precision?

This product features a high-quality 19 mm, 3/8 circle, precision conventional cutting stainless steel needle. It is specifically designed for procedures that require accurate tissue penetration and clean incision control.

Does the braided construction improve handling?

Yes. The braided Polyglactin 910 construction is engineered for excellent handling characteristics, providing surgeons with superior control and optimal knot security compared to monofilament alternatives.

What surgical applications is this best suited for?

This suture is indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation where an absorbable suture is required. It is a staple in hospital operating rooms and clinical wound closure protocols.

Are these sutures ready for immediate clinical use?

Yes. Every strand is sterile and arrives in professional-grade, sterile packaging, ensuring full compliance with high safety standards required in surgical settings.

What is the length of each suture strand?

Each suture strand in the pack is 18 inches (45 cm) long, providing an appropriate length for most standard clinical wound closure procedures.

How many strands come in a single box?

Each box contains 12 sterile strands, making it a convenient and efficient choice for surgical centers needing organized, shelf-ready supplies.

Is this a synthetic medical-grade product?

Yes. It is a factory new product manufactured by J & J Healthcare Systems, utilizing synthetic materials for consistent quality, reliability, and reduced tissue reactivity.

Is the suture color visible during surgery?

This specific model (Catalog VCP822G) comes in undyed form, which is often preferred for cosmetic or sensitive areas where minimal visibility of the suture material is desired after closure.
