Frequently asked questions
How reliable is the knot security during procedures?
The braided construction of the Vicryl suture is specifically engineered for superior knot security, providing excellent hold right from the first throw for dependable performance.
What is the expected timeline for suture absorption?
This suture offers a predictable, mid-term absorption profile:
- Tensile Strength: Retains strength during the critical early healing phases, losing 50% of its strength at 3 weeks.
- Mass Absorption: Complete absorption occurs within 56 to 76 days.
Is this suture suitable for cardiovascular or neurological surgery?
No, this product is not indicated for use in cardiovascular or neurological tissues. It is intended for general soft tissue approximation and ligation.
What are the benefits of the PS-2 needle design?
The PS-2 needle features a 19 mm, 3/8 circle precision reverse cutting edge. This design is optimized to provide smooth, controlled penetration through tissue, making it highly effective for various general surgical applications.
Can these sutures be resterilized after opening?
No. For safety and sterile integrity, do not reuse or resterilize the product. It is intended for single-use clinical application only.
What does the 3-0 size indicate for this suture?
The 3-0 size refers to the diameter of the suture material. It provides a balance of high tensile strength while maintaining enough flexibility for general soft tissue approximation, obstetrics, gynecology, and orthopedic procedures.
Is the material synthetic or natural?
This is a synthetic, absorbable suture made from Polyglactin 910. Using synthetic materials ensures a consistent absorption profile and reduces tissue reactivity compared to natural materials.
Is this product TAA or BAA compliant?
This product is not BAA or TAA compliant.
How is the suture packaged for clinical use?
The sutures are provided in a sterile foil medical pouch inside a protective plastic tray, ensuring the product remains sterile and organized until the moment of use in the operating room.
What is the total length of each suture strand?
Each strand is 18 inches (45 cm) in length, providing ample material for standard surgical ligation and soft tissue closure tasks.
