Frequently asked questions
How reliable is this suture during the healing process?
Coated Vicryl is engineered for predictable healing. It retains 50% of its initial tensile strength after 3 weeks and undergoes complete mass absorption within 56 to 76 days.
Is the knot security reliable for surgical use?
Yes, this suture features excellent knot-tying characteristics and high knot security from the very first throw, which provides surgeons with necessary precision during procedures.
For which surgical procedures is this suture suitable?
It is highly versatile and suitable for several applications, including:
- General soft tissue approximation and ligation
- Reproductive tract surgery
- Ophthalmic procedures
- Orthopedic procedures (as a secondary choice)
Are there any restrictions on where this can be used?
Yes, please note that these sutures are not intended for use in cardiovascular or neurological tissues.
Does the coating make it easier to handle?
Yes, the suture is coated to ensure smooth tissue passage, reducing resistance while the thread is pulled through the tissue during closure.
What is the needle type included in this pack?
Each strand comes with a CT-1, 1/2 circle taper point needle made of stainless steel, measuring 36 mm in length.
What does the 2-0 size indicate for this suture?
The 2-0 size refers to the diameter of the suture material, which is a standard gauge used for general soft tissue approximation where a balance between strength and tissue delicacy is required.
Is the Vicryl thread braided or monofilament?
This product features a braided construction, which facilitates ease of use and contributes to the excellent knot-holding performance of the suture.
How many sutures are in a single pack?
Each unit is a standard sterile pack containing 36 strands, with each strand featuring an integrated needle.
Is this a synthetic or natural material?
It is a synthetic absorbable suture made of Polyglactin 910. Being synthetic, it is designed for consistent performance and predictable absorption in the body.
