Frequently asked questions
How reliable is the knot security?
Coated Vicryl is engineered specifically for ease of knot tying and provides high-performance reliability, ensuring secure closure from the very first throw.
What is the typical absorption timeline?
This suture offers a predictable healing profile: it retains 50% of its tensile strength after three weeks, with complete mass absorption occurring between 56 to 76 days.
Is this suitable for cardiovascular procedures?
No. This product is not intended for use in cardiovascular or neurological tissues. It is indicated for general soft tissue approximation, ligation, and specific orthopedic or ophthalmic procedures.
What clinical specialties is this suture best for?
It is highly versatile and widely used in:
- General surgery
- Obstetrics and gynecology
- Orthopedics
- Ophthalmic procedures
Does this suture require manual removal?
No, this is an absorbable synthetic suture. It is designed to be broken down by the body over time, which eliminates the need for a secondary procedure to remove sutures.
What are the primary material benefits?
The Polyglactin 910 composition provides:
- High tensile strength
- Predictable absorption
- Excellent handling characteristics
- Reduced tissue trauma due to the smooth braided coating.
Does the braided design help with tissue passage?
Yes, the braided structure of the Polyglactin 910 is designed to facilitate smooth passage through tissue while maintaining high tensile strength during the critical wound healing phase.
Is the needle design optimized for precision?
Yes, it features a 1/2 circle taper point needle (CT-1) made of high-quality stainless steel, specifically engineered for surgical precision and optimal tissue penetration.
What is included in the package configuration?
Each unit is a pack of 36 strands, with each strand equipped with one 36mm CT-1 taper point needle.
Is the suture easily visible during surgery?
Yes, the suture material is a dyed synthetic (Violet), which provides improved visibility against tissue during surgical procedures.
