Frequently asked questions
Does this suture provide reliable knot security?
Yes, this suture is specifically engineered for ease of knot tying and is highly regarded for providing superior knot security starting from the very first throw.
Is the absorption profile predictable for healing?
Absolutely. The Vicryl Polyglactin 910 suture is designed for a consistent degradation timeline: 1. Tensile strength: Retains 50% strength after 3 weeks. 2. Complete absorption: The material is fully absorbed by the body within 56 to 76 days.
Is the needle design optimized for smooth penetration?
The included PC-5 precision conventional cutting needle is crafted from high-grade stainless steel. Its 3/8 circle shape and 19 mm length are specifically selected to ensure smooth and accurate tissue penetration during surgical procedures.
What surgical applications are best for this suture?
This suture is versatile and indicated for a wide range of procedures, including: 1. General soft tissue approximation and ligation. 2. Muscle approximation. 3. Reproductive tract surgery. 4. Ophthalmic applications.
Is this suture safe for cardiovascular or neurological use?
No. Please note that this specific Coated Vicryl (Polyglactin 910) suture is not indicated for use in cardiovascular or neurological tissues.
What is the construction of the suture material?
The suture features a braided construction made from undyed synthetic Polyglactin 910. This braided design is a key feature that helps enhance overall knot security and handling during critical surgeries.
How many sutures are included in a package?
Each unit includes one dozen (12) strands of sterile, 18-inch absorbable sutures, each with an attached precision needle.
Is this a sterile medical product?
Yes, this product is factory new and sterile, meeting the rigorous standards required for use in hospital, surgical center, and clinical settings.
Can this be used for orthopedic surgeries?
While primarily indicated for soft tissue and muscle approximation, it often acts as a secondary choice for orthopedic surgical procedures when reliable absorbable fixation is required.
Is the suture material naturally colored or undyed?
This specific variant utilizes undyed synthetic Polyglactin 910 material, ensuring clarity and standard clinical performance for general surgical needs.
