Frequently asked questions

What is the primary use for this suture?

This Coated Vicryl suture is primarily designed for soft tissue approximation and ligation. Its refined S-14 spatula needle configuration makes it particularly well-suited for delicate ophthalmic procedures.

Is this suture suitable for cardiovascular surgery?

No. This suture is contraindicated for use in cardiovascular or neurological tissues. It should be used specifically for the soft tissue and ophthalmic applications for which it was engineered.

How long does the suture maintain its strength?

The Coated Vicryl suture offers a predictable absorption profile, maintaining 50% of its original tensile strength for up to 3 weeks. Complete mass absorption is typically achieved within 56 to 76 days.

What are the benefits of the braided structure?

The braided construction provides two main benefits for the clinician:

  • Smooth passage: It moves through tissues with minimal trauma.
  • Knot security: It ensures ease of tying and reliable knot hold starting from the very first throw.
Is the suture sterile?

Yes, this product is provided as a sterile item, ready for surgical use.

Does the package come with double-armed needles?

Yes, this configuration includes a double-armed needle setup, which provides the surgeon with increased flexibility and maneuverability during suturing procedures.

What is the specific geometry of the needle?

This product features an S-14 spatula needle with a 1/4 circle curvature. The needle is 8 mm in length and is crafted from stainless steel to ensure high-performance maneuverability in delicate tissues.

Is this suture synthetic or natural?

This is a synthetic, absorbable suture made from Polyglactin 910. It is undyed and coated to facilitate optimal surgical handling.

How many strands are included per package?

Each unit contains 12 strands of the suture.

What is the length of each suture strand?

Each strand in this package is 18 inches long.
