Frequently asked questions
Does the braided design improve knot security?
Yes, the braided construction is specifically engineered to provide superior knot-holding capabilities. It is designed for ease of tying and ensures exceptional security from the very first throw, giving surgeons confidence during procedures.
How long does the suture maintain its tensile strength?
The Vicryl suture features a highly predictable absorption profile. It retains significant support throughout the early healing phase, losing 50% of its tensile strength after 3 weeks.
Is the material safe for general soft tissue use?
Yes, Polyglactin 910 is a trusted, reliable synthetic material widely used for soft tissue approximation and ligation. It is indicated for use in:
When can I expect the suture to be fully absorbed?
The suture is designed for gradual and consistent breakdown. Complete mass absorption typically occurs within 56 to 76 days post-procedure.
Does the needle design facilitate smooth tissue penetration?
Absolutely. The FS-2 3/8 circle reverse cutting needle is crafted from high-quality stainless steel. Its precision engineering and geometric design are optimized for clean, effortless tissue penetration.
Are there specific procedures this suture should avoid?
While highly versatile, this specific suture is not intended for use in cardiovascular or neurological tissues. It is best suited for general soft tissue approximation, ophthalmic, and orthopedic applications.
Does the coating assist with surgical handling?
Yes, the special coating on the Polyglactin 910 material ensures the suture passes smoothly through tissues, reducing drag and helping to maintain the integrity of the incision site.
What is the physical size of the FS-2 needle?
The FS-2 needle included in this pack measures 19 mm in length. It features a 3/8 circle curvature, which is standard for high-precision surgical tasks.
How many suture strands are provided in each pack?
Each unit is supplied as a 36-strand pack, ensuring a sufficient supply for standard surgical requirements.
Is the suture color helpful for visibility?
The suture is dyed violet, which is a distinct color chosen to provide optimal visibility for the surgeon against the surgical field during complex procedures.
