Frequently asked questions

What is the primary use for this suture?

This suture is indicated for the approximation and ligation of soft tissues. It is widely used in general surgery for muscle approximation, as well as specific procedures within the reproductive tract and orthopedic settings.

Are there any tissues where this shouldn't be used?

Yes, this suture is not intended for use in cardiovascular or neurological tissues. Please ensure the application is limited to appropriate soft tissue or muscle approximation.

How long does the suture maintain its strength?

The Coated Vicryl suture is engineered with a controlled absorption profile, losing 50% of its tensile strength after three weeks. Complete mass absorption typically occurs within 56 to 76 days.

Is the knot security reliable?

Yes, this suture is specifically designed for excellent handling and knot security. It is engineered to provide exceptional security upon the first throw, which helps maintain efficiency during surgical workflows.

Is this product factory new?

Yes, this is a factory new product manufactured by J & J Healthcare Systems. It is provided in its original sterile packaging.

What does the CT-1 needle specification mean?

The CT-1 is a high-quality stainless steel taper point needle. It features a 1/2 circle shape with a 36 mm length, designed to provide precision during soft tissue repair.

Is this a braided or monofilament suture?

This is a braided Polyglactin 910 suture. The braided construction is chosen for its superior handling characteristics and reliable performance during knot tying.

How many strands are included in the box?

Each box contains 36 sterile strands, ensuring you are well-stocked for multiple clinical procedures.

What is the total length of each strand?

Each individual suture strand measures 27 inches (70 cm), providing ample length for standard surgical approximations.
