Frequently asked questions
Does this suture offer reliable knot security?
Yes, this suture is specifically engineered for exceptional knot security. It is designed for ease of handling and provides a consistent, secure hold starting from the very first throw.
What is the expected absorption timeline for this material?
The Coated Vicryl (Polyglactin 910) features a controlled degradation process:
- 3 weeks: 50% loss of tensile strength.
- 56 to 76 days: Complete mass absorption within the body.
Is this suture suitable for ophthalmic procedures?
Yes, this product is indicated for general soft tissue approximation and ligation, which includes ophthalmic procedures.
Can this be used for cardiovascular surgery?
No, this suture is not intended for use in cardiovascular or neurological tissues.
What are the benefits of the braided structure?
The braided Polyglactin 910 construction is chosen for its superior handling properties. It provides the strength and consistency necessary for smooth, precise wound closure.
Is the stainless steel needle durable for soft tissue?
Yes, the stainless steel taper point needle is designed for durability and smooth penetration, specifically optimized for soft tissue approximation.
Are these sutures provided in sterile packaging?
Yes, all sutures are delivered sterile to ensure they are ready for immediate clinical use in surgical environments.
How long is each suture strand?
Each suture strand has a length of 27 inches, providing ample length for various surgical ligation and approximation techniques.
What is the needle's physical configuration?
The needle is a 1/2 circle taper point design with a length of 36 mm, which is the standard geometry used for controlled, reliable passage through soft tissue.
Is this a synthetic material?
Yes, it is composed of Polyglactin 910, a synthetic, absorbable material known for its predictable healing support and consistent performance during the recovery period.
