Frequently asked questions
How long does this suture hold its strength?
Coated Vicryl is designed for reliable support during the critical healing phase, maintaining 50% of its original tensile strength at 3 weeks post-procedure.
Is this suture safe for all surgical procedures?
It is highly versatile for general soft tissue approximation, muscle, reproductive, orthopedic, and ophthalmic procedures. However, it is not intended for use in cardiovascular or neurological tissues.
How long until the material is fully absorbed?
The suture is designed for a predictable absorption profile, achieving complete mass absorption through hydrolysis in 56 to 76 days.
What makes this suture easy to handle?
The braided structure and specialized coating allow for smooth passage through tissue and provide superior knot security from the very first throw.
Is the needle suitable for minimizing tissue trauma?
Yes, the CT-1 1/2 circle taper point needle is precision-engineered to provide smooth penetration, which is specifically optimized to minimize trauma to the tissue during insertion.
What material is this suture made of?
This product consists of Polyglactin 910, a synthetic, braided material that is absorbable and sterile.
How many strands are in a pack?
Each pack contains 36 individual strands, each equipped with its own integrated CT-1 taper point needle.
Is this a synthetic or natural material?
It is a fully synthetic absorbable suture, which offers predictable absorption characteristics compared to natural alternatives.
What is the specific size of this suture?
This specific variant is a 3-0 gauge, which is a standard size for a wide variety of soft tissue approximations.
Are these sutures ready for immediate clinical use?
Yes, these are sterile, factory-new surgical sutures designed for immediate use in hospital and clinical settings.
