Frequently asked questions
How reliable is the knot security?
Coated Vicryl is engineered specifically for excellent handling. It is designed to provide smooth knot tying and reliable knot security from the very first throw during surgical procedures.
What is the expected absorption timeline?
This suture features a predictable, controlled breakdown profile:
- Tensile Strength: Retains strength initially, with 50% loss occurring at 3 weeks.
- Full Absorption: The material is completely absorbed by the body within 56 to 76 days.
What surgical applications are best for this needle?
The 13 mm P-3 precision reverse cutting needle is designed for delicate work. It is ideal for:
- General soft tissue approximation and ligation
- Ophthalmic procedures
- Reproductive tract surgery
- Orthopedic procedures (as a second choice)
Are there any contraindications to be aware of?
Yes, for safety reasons, this suture must not be used in cardiovascular or neurological tissues.
Is the needle design optimized for tissue trauma?
Yes, the P-3 precision reverse cutting needle is specifically engineered for clinical applications that require controlled tissue entry, helping to minimize tissue trauma during placement.
Can these be resterilized after the pack is opened?
No. This product is for single-use only. It must not be reused or resterilized to ensure the sterility and structural integrity of the material.
Is the suture material dyed or undyed?
This specific configuration uses undyed synthetic Polyglactin 910, which provides a clean and unobtrusive appearance during delicate surgical procedures.
How many sutures are included in a pack?
Each unit includes a 12-strand pack, with one precision needle attached to each suture strand.
What is the physical length of the suture?
Each suture strand in this pack is 18 inches long, providing ample length for standard soft tissue approximation and ligation tasks.
What makes the construction of this suture unique?
It features a braided construction, which offers superior flexibility and strength compared to monofilament alternatives, making it highly effective for reliable tissue approximation.
