Frequently asked questions
How reliable is the knot security during surgery?
The Coated Vicryl Polyglactin 910 is specifically engineered for superior knot security, offering excellent reliability and ease of handling from the very first throw.
How long does the suture maintain its tensile strength?
This suture offers a controlled absorption profile, retaining sufficient strength for the critical healing phase before losing 50% of its tensile strength at 3 weeks.
When is complete absorption of the suture expected?
The material undergoes a predictable degradation process, with complete mass absorption occurring between 56 and 76 days post-procedure.
What types of procedures is this suture best for?
It is highly versatile and indicated for:
- General soft tissue approximation and ligation
- Muscle approximation
- Orthopedic procedures
- Reproductive tract surgeries
- Ophthalmic procedures
Are there any contraindications for this suture material?
Yes, while excellent for soft tissue, this specific suture is not intended for use in cardiovascular or neurological tissues.
Does the braided construction make tissue passage smoother?
Yes, the braided construction is specifically designed to facilitate smooth passage through tissue, reducing trauma while maintaining high knot security.
Is this a synthetic or natural suture material?
This is a synthetic, absorbable suture made from Polyglactin 910, which provides consistent quality and predictable absorption compared to natural alternatives.
What is the needle shape and type?
This product features a 1/2 circle reverse cutting needle with a length of 36 mm, designed for precise control during tissue approximation.
Is the suture coated or uncoated?
This is a coated suture. The coating is applied to enhance the handling characteristics and ensure smooth, reliable performance during the suturing process.
How is the suture packaged for clinical use?
Each suture is housed in individual, professional-grade clinical packaging. The branding and critical information are clearly labeled to allow for quick identification and sterility maintenance in a surgical environment.
