Frequently asked questions
Does this suture offer reliable knot security?
Yes, the braided structure of the Coated Vicryl suture is specifically designed to provide excellent handling characteristics. This allows for smooth knot placement and superior knot security on the very first throw.
Is the absorption profile predictable for healing?
The suture is engineered for predictable degradation. It maintains significant tensile strength during the critical initial healing phase, retaining 50% of its strength after three weeks, with complete mass absorption occurring within 56 to 76 days.
Is the needle designed to minimize tissue trauma?
Absolutely. The included 26 mm CT-2 taper point needle is precision-engineered from high-grade stainless steel. Its design ensures consistent penetration while minimizing trauma to the surrounding tissue.
Can this suture be used for various surgical procedures?
Yes, this suture offers high clinical versatility. It is indicated for:
- General soft tissue approximation and ligation
- Muscle approximation
- Reproductive tract procedures
- Ophthalmic surgeries
- Orthopedic surgeries
Is the material high-quality synthetic?
Yes, this product is crafted from Polyglactin 910, a high-quality, dyed synthetic material. Its braided construction optimizes durability and handling performance for surgical use.
Are there specific tissue types this suture should avoid?
While highly versatile for soft tissue and muscle approximation, this specific suture is not indicated for use in cardiovascular or neurological tissues.
How long is the actual suture strand?
Each unit comes with a 27-inch length of suture, providing ample material for precise ligation and tissue approximation during procedures.
What is the physical configuration of the needle?
The assembly features a 1/2 circle curved needle, known as the CT-2 needle. This geometry is specifically chosen to facilitate accurate surgical navigation and deep-tissue penetration.
Does the suture arrive in a sterile condition?
Yes, all Coated Vicryl sutures provided are factory new and sterile, ensuring they meet the necessary standards for surgical environments.
What quantity is included in a pack?
Each unit is supplied as a 36-strand pack of 1-needle suture assemblies, ensuring a consistent supply for clinical requirements.
