Frequently asked questions

Does this suture help prevent bacterial colonization?

Yes. This suture incorporates Irgacare MP (triclosan), which creates an antibacterial zone around the suture, specifically designed to inhibit bacterial colonization during the healing process.

Is the material easy to handle during surgery?

Absolutely. It features a high-quality monofilament construction that ensures:

  • Minimal tissue trauma during passage.
  • Superior pliability for smooth navigation.
  • Excellent knot security for reliable and precise placement.
How long does the suture take to absorb?

The Monocryl Plus provides a predictable performance with complete mass absorption occurring within 91 to 119 days.

What is the expected tensile strength profile?

The suture maintains reliable strength throughout the initial healing phase, with a 50-60% to 60-70% tensile strength loss profile after one week.

What type of needle is included?

This pack includes a Precision Reverse Cutting needle (P-3). It is a 3/8 circle stainless steel needle, measuring 13 mm, engineered specifically for sustained sharpness and high-precision control.

Is this suture suitable for soft tissue procedures?

Yes, it is specifically designed for general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, making it an ideal choice for various clinical surgical environments.

What is the total length of each suture strand?

Each sterile suture strand in this package measures 18 inches (45 cm).

Does this package provide enough sutures for multiple uses?

Each unit is a 12-strand package, providing a set of sterile sutures to accommodate clinical needs.

Is the suture material synthetic?

Yes, it is composed of Poliglecaprone 25, a high-quality synthetic monofilament material known for its consistent performance and safety profile.

Does the needle provide good grip during use?

The Precision Reverse Cutting design is engineered to facilitate accurate placement and secure knot tying, ensuring the clinician maintains control throughout the procedure.
