Frequently asked questions
How long does the suture stay strong?
This suture is designed for predictable performance, retaining 50% of its tensile strength for three weeks post-application. It is fully absorbed by the body within 56 to 76 days.
Is this suitable for cardiovascular or neurological surgery?
No. This suture is strictly contraindicated for use in cardiovascular or neurological tissues. It is intended primarily for general soft tissue approximation and ligation.
Does the coating improve knot security?
Yes, the braided construction combined with the specialized coating allows for smooth tissue passage and ensures consistent, reliable knot security right from the first throw.
Is this suture safe for minimizing tissue reaction?
Yes, it is composed of synthetic, undyed Polyglactin 910. This material choice is specifically designed to minimize tissue reaction compared to other suture types.
Can these be resterilized if not used?
No, these sutures are for single-use only. You must not reuse or resterilize them under any circumstances to maintain sterility and safety standards.
Is the needle effective for controlled penetration?
Absolutely. It features a PS-2 3/8 circle precision reverse cutting needle. This geometry is specifically engineered for controlled tissue penetration and effective approximation during procedures.
What is the length of the suture strands?
Each suture strand is 18 inches (45 cm) in length.
Are these suitable for orthopedic procedures?
While primarily indicated for soft tissue approximation, this suture is often used as a secondary choice for orthopedic applications.
How many strands are included in a pack?
Each purchase includes a pack containing 12 strands of the suture, each with an integrated PS-2 needle.
What is the specific needle length?
The precision reverse cutting needle included in this set measures 19 mm in length.
