Frequently asked questions
Does this suture offer reliable knot security?
Yes, this suture features a braided construction specifically engineered for excellent knot performance. It is designed to provide superior knot security starting with the very first throw, ensuring reliability during surgical procedures.
How long does the tensile strength last?
The Coated Vicryl suture is engineered for a predictable absorption profile: - It retains approximately 50% of its tensile strength after 3 weeks. - Complete mass absorption is typically achieved between 56 and 76 days.
Is the needle design optimized for delicate tissue?
Yes, it is equipped with a PC-3 3/8 circle precision conventional cutting needle. This 16 mm stainless steel needle is specifically crafted to allow for accurate tissue penetration and controlled entry, making it highly effective for delicate procedures.
What is the primary material composition?
This product is made from Polyglactin 910, a synthetic, absorbable material. It is supplied as an undyed, braided strand, providing the necessary strength for soft tissue approximation.
Can this suture be used for any surgical procedure?
While it is highly versatile for general soft tissue approximation, ligation, and ophthalmic procedures, there are specific limitations: - Contraindications: It is strictly not for use in cardiovascular or neurological tissues.
What is included in a single package?
Each unit is provided as a 12-strand suture pack, with each strand featuring the attached PC-3 precision needle.
Is this a sterile product?
Yes, this product is supplied as sterile and is ready for use in clinical or surgical environments.
What is the length of the suture strand?
Each strand in this package measures 18 inches in length, which is a standard configuration for general wound closure and approximation tasks.
Is this suture suitable for ophthalmic use?
Yes, the Coated Vicryl (Polyglactin 910) suture is specifically indicated for use in ophthalmic procedures, in addition to general soft tissue and muscle approximation.
What makes the PC-3 needle unique?
The PC-3 needle is a precision conventional cutting needle. Its 3/8 circle curvature and 16 mm length provide the geometric precision required to minimize trauma while ensuring precise placement during controlled surgical maneuvers.
