Frequently asked questions

Does this suture offer reliable knot security?

Yes, the Coated Vicryl Polyglactin 910 is specifically engineered for excellent knot security, ensuring ease of tying and reliable holding power starting from the very first throw.

How long does the suture maintain its tensile strength?

This suture features a controlled absorption profile, demonstrating a predictable loss of 50% of its initial tensile strength at the 3-week mark.

What is the expected timeframe for complete absorption?

The material undergoes enzymatic hydrolysis and achieves complete mass absorption within 56 to 76 days following application.

Is the needle design optimized for precision?

Yes, it features a precision reverse cutting needle with a 3/8 circle profile, which is specifically designed for accurate penetration and control during soft tissue procedures.

Is the construction of the suture easy to handle?

The suture utilizes a braided construction, which enhances its flexibility and handling characteristics, making it highly effective for general soft tissue approximation.

Are there specific surgical applications for this suture?

It is highly versatile and suitable for several surgical fields, including:

  • General soft tissue approximation and ligation
  • Ophthalmic surgery
  • Reproductive tract procedures
  • Orthopedic procedures
Are there any contraindications for this suture?

Yes. This specific suture is not intended for use in cardiovascular or neurological tissues. Please ensure it is used only for the indicated soft tissue applications.

What is the material composition of the needle?

The needle is crafted from high-quality stainless steel, ensuring durability and sharpness throughout the surgical process.

How should this product be stored prior to use?

To ensure the integrity of the synthetic material remains intact, it should always be stored in a cool, dry environment.

What is the specific sizing for this suture?

This product comes in a 6-0 size, which is an fine gauge ideal for delicate soft tissue work, paired with a P-3 needle code measuring 13 mm in length.
