Frequently asked questions
Does this suture help prevent surgical site infections?
Yes. These sutures are coated with an antibacterial agent specifically designed to create a zone of inhibition that actively prevents the colonization of common pathogens, including antibiotic-resistant strains like MRSA and MRSE.
Is the material suitable for predictable absorption?
Yes, this product is made from Polyglactin 910, a synthetic braided material well-regarded in clinical practice for offering both reliable, predictable absorption and excellent handling characteristics during procedures.
What is the benefit of the SH taper point needle?
The SH-code, 1/2 circle taper point needle is designed to provide smooth tissue penetration. By minimizing resistance, it significantly reduces trauma to the surgical site during closure.
Are these sutures ready for sterile use?
Yes, this is a factory new product and is supplied as sterile to ensure it meets the necessary safety standards for immediate surgical use.
Is this suture easy to knot securely?
Yes. The braided structure of the Polyglactin 910 material is engineered specifically to balance high tensile strength with reliable knot security, ensuring the closure remains stable post-operation.
What pathogens does the coating inhibit?
The antibacterial coating has been proven in vitro to inhibit the growth of several key surgical pathogens, including:
- Staphylococcus aureus
- Staphylococcus epidermidis
- MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus)
- MRSE (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis)
