- Staphylococcus aureus
- Staphylococcus epidermidis
- MRSA
- MRSE
Is the material reliable for consistent absorption?
Yes, it is constructed from Polyglactin 910, a high-performance synthetic material specifically chosen for its predictable absorption profile and high tensile strength throughout the healing process.
Does the braided structure improve knot security?
Absolutely. The braided construction is specifically engineered to offer superior handling characteristics and enhanced knot security compared to monofilament alternatives, ensuring the suture stays firmly in place.
Is the needle designed for precise surgical handling?
Yes, the included 26 mm SH-coded 1/2 circle taper point needle is crafted from high-quality stainless steel and is precision-engineered to provide consistent, smooth penetration through tissue during procedures.
What is the total length of each suture strand?
Each individual suture strand is 27 inches in length, providing ample material for various general surgical wound closure techniques.
Are these sutures appropriate for general surgery?
Yes, these are designed for professional use in general surgical wound closure. They are especially ideal for surgical environments where maximizing the prevention of site infections is a top priority.
Is the suture material dyed or undyed?
This specific catalog number (VCP417H) features an undyed Polyglactin 910 synthetic material, which is standard for many surgical applications requiring a neutral appearance.
How many sutures come in a single box?
Each box contains 36 individual strands, with each strand pre-attached to a high-quality 1/2 circle taper point needle for immediate clinical use.
What size is this particular suture?
This suture is a 2-0 size, which is a standard gauge widely used by surgeons for a balance of strength and tissue trauma management.
Is the product delivered in sterile packaging?
Yes, every unit is factory new and sterile, ensuring the product meets the strict clinical safety and hygiene standards required for surgical procedures.
