Frequently asked questions

How long does this suture hold its strength?

The Coated Vicryl suture is designed for a predictable healing process, losing 50% of its tensile strength after three weeks, which provides reliable support during the initial recovery phase.

Is this suture easy to tie securely?

Yes, it is highly regarded for its braided construction and specialized coating, which are specifically engineered to provide excellent ease of handling and exceptional knot security on the initial throw.

When is complete absorption achieved?

The suture material is fully absorbed by the body within 56 to 76 days, ensuring consistent, predictable mass absorption after the tissue has adequately healed.

Can this be used for cardiovascular procedures?

No. This suture is not indicated for use in cardiovascular or neurological tissues. It is intended for general soft tissue approximation, ligation, and specific procedures like reproductive or orthopedic surgery.

What is the needle type included in this pack?

Each strand comes with an RB-1 1/2 circle taper point needle, which is 17 mm long and made from durable stainless steel, designed for precision during soft tissue closure.

Is this a synthetic or natural suture?

This is a synthetic, absorbable suture made from Polyglactin 910. Being synthetic, it offers more consistent performance compared to natural absorbable options.

Is this suture suitable for ophthalmic surgery?

Yes, the Coated Vicryl suture is indicated for use in ophthalmic procedures, as well as general soft tissue and muscle approximation.

What is the diameter of this suture?

This product is a size 4-0 suture, which is a standard diameter for general soft tissue approximation where moderate strength is required.

Is this suture visible during surgery?

Yes, the suture material is dyed violet, which provides high visibility against tissue, making it easier for surgeons to track during a procedure.

Does this pack include multiple strands?

Yes, each unit contains a 36-strand pack, providing a convenient quantity for clinical or surgical settings.
