Frequently asked questions
Does the suture offer good knot security?
Yes, this suture is specifically designed for excellent handling and exceptional knot security, ensuring it holds firmly starting from the very first throw.
How long does the suture maintain its strength?
The Coated Vicryl (polyglactin 910) material provides a predictable absorption profile, retaining its structural integrity during the healing process and losing 50% of its tensile strength after 3 weeks.
Is this suitable for all types of surgery?
While highly versatile for general soft tissue and muscle approximation, ligatures, and ophthalmic procedures, it is not indicated for use in cardiovascular or neurological tissues.
Is the material easy to handle during procedures?
Yes, the braided construction combined with a specialized coating improves overall handling characteristics and ensures precise knot placement for the surgeon.
What is the absorption timeframe for this suture?
The suture is designed to provide medium-term support, with complete mass absorption occurring within 56 to 76 days post-procedure.
Is the needle effective for smooth penetration?
Yes, the included CT-2 taper point needle is engineered specifically for smooth tissue penetration, reducing the force required during surgical procedures.
Does it come pre-sterilized?
Absolutely. This is a factory-new, sterile medical product packaged in sealed pouches to ensure safety and readiness for clinical use immediately upon opening.
Is the suture dyed or undyed?
This specific variant uses undyed Polyglactin 910 synthetic material.
How many sutures are in a pack?
Each unit includes a comprehensive 36-strand suture pack.
What are the physical dimensions of the needle?
The CT-2 needle features a 1/2 circle shape and a length of 26 mm, making it suitable for standard soft tissue approximation.
