Frequently asked questions
How does the antibacterial feature work?
The Coated Vicryl Plus suture is specifically designed to proactively reduce the risk of surgical site infections. It is proven in vitro to create a zone of inhibition that actively inhibits the colonization of common pathogens, including:
- MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus)
- MRSE (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis)
- Staphylococcus aureus
- Staphylococcus epidermidis
Is the suture material reliable for strength?
Yes. This suture is constructed from Polyglactin 910, a trusted synthetic material known for its high clinical performance. It provides:
- Predictable absorption rates.
- Consistent tensile strength throughout the critical wound-healing period.
Does the braided design help with knot security?
Absolutely. The braided construction is engineered to provide excellent handling characteristics and superior knot security, ensuring that the suture remains securely in place during the healing process.
What is the benefit of the precision reverse cutting needle?
The PS-2 19mm precision reverse cutting needle is designed for high-performance surgical applications. Its primary benefits include:
- Reduced tissue trauma during penetration.
- Enhanced control and smoother passage through various tissue types, making it ideal for delicate procedures.
Is this suture safe for general surgical use?
This is a sterile, medical-grade, synthetic absorbable suture. It is intended for professional clinical use by surgeons who require both reliable wound closure and an added layer of infection control.
How many sutures are included in a package?
Each unit contains 12 individual strands, each pre-attached to its own precision reverse cutting needle, ensuring you have enough for multiple applications within a single clinical session.
What is the total length of each suture strand?
Each individual suture strand in the pack measures 18 inches (45 cm) in length, providing ample length for standard surgical wound closure requirements.
Are these sutures sterile upon arrival?
Yes, every package is delivered in factory new, sterile condition, maintaining the highest standards of safety and clinical hygiene required for surgical environments.
What makes Polyglactin 910 a preferred material?
Polyglactin 910 is a synthetic material favored by clinicians for being:
- Predictable: It breaks down at a consistent rate.
- Synthetic: It eliminates the variability often found in natural suture materials.
Is this needle shape suitable for delicate tissue?
Yes, the 3/8 circle precision reverse cutting needle is specifically engineered for precision and minimal tissue trauma, making it an excellent choice for surgeons performing delicate wound closure procedures.
