Frequently asked questions

How long does this suture hold its strength?

The Coated Vicryl suture is engineered for reliability, retaining 50% of its initial tensile strength at 3 weeks, ensuring consistent support during the critical phases of wound healing.

Is this suture suitable for ophthalmic procedures?

Yes, this suture is indicated for general soft tissue approximation and ligation, including ophthalmic procedures, thanks to its high-quality construction.

What is the absorption timeframe for this material?

This suture features a predictable absorption profile, with complete mass absorption typically occurring between 56 and 76 days post-implantation.

Does this provide good knot security?

Absolutely. The braided construction of the Polyglactin 910 material provides superior ease of handling and exceptional knot security beginning with the very first throw.

Are there any contraindications to be aware of?

Yes, please note that this specific suture is not intended for use in cardiovascular or neurological tissues.

What type of needle comes with this suture?

Each strand is equipped with a professional-grade 11 mm, 3/8 circle, stainless steel precision reverse cutting needle (P-1), designed to minimize tissue trauma during delicate procedures.

How many strands are included in a package?

Each unit contains a 12-strand package, with one precision needle attached to each strand.

Is this suture easy to pass through tissue?

The braided construction of the suture is specifically designed to facilitate smooth passage through tissue, reducing resistance during application.

Is the material synthetic or natural?

This is a synthetic, absorbable suture made of Polyglactin 910, ensuring a consistent and predictable performance compared to natural alternatives.

What is the length of the suture strand?

Each suture strand provided in the package is 18 inches long.
