Frequently asked questions
Does this suture offer reliable knot security?
Yes, the Coated Vicryl suture is engineered for exceptional knot security right from the very first throw, making it a highly reliable choice for surgical teams.
What is the expected absorption timeline for this material?
The suture is designed for a predictable healing process:
- Tensile Strength: Retains 50% strength at 3 weeks.
- Total Absorption: Mass is completely absorbed within 56 to 76 days post-implantation.
Can this suture be used for orthopedic procedures?
Absolutely. This suture is versatile and indicated for various medical specialties, including:
- General soft tissue approximation
- Muscle repair
- Orthopedic procedures
- Reproductive tract and ophthalmic surgery
Is the needle designed to minimize tissue trauma?
Yes, the needle is constructed from high-grade stainless steel with a tapered geometry specifically optimized for smooth, consistent tissue penetration and minimal trauma during use.
Are there specific tissues where this should not be used?
While highly versatile for soft tissue and muscle approximation, this product is explicitly contraindicated for use in cardiovascular or neurological tissues.
What are the physical dimensions of the included needle?
The needle is a CT-1 code 1/2 circle taper point needle, measuring 36 mm in length, providing an ergonomic arc suitable for deep tissue access.
Is the suture material easy to handle during surgery?
The Coated Vicryl (Polyglactin 910) is widely valued for its excellent handling characteristics, specifically its ease of knot tying, which helps streamline surgical procedures.
What is the total length of the suture provided?
Each unit contains a 27-inch (approx. 68 cm) braided synthetic suture, providing sufficient length for standard ligation and approximation tasks.
Is this a synthetic or natural suture material?
This is a synthetic, braided Polyglactin 910 suture, which is preferred by many surgeons for its consistent quality and predictable absorption rates compared to natural alternatives.
How should this sterile product be handled?
To maintain integrity, please ensure the product is stored and handled in accordance with standard medical protocols for sterile equipment, keeping it in its original packaging until the moment of use.
