Frequently asked questions
Is the knot security reliable during surgery?
Yes, this suture is specifically engineered for superior knot security. It is designed to provide consistent performance from the very first throw, ensuring high-quality wound closure and confidence during critical procedures.
How long does this suture hold its strength?
The Coated Vicryl suture is engineered for a predictable absorption profile: <ul><li>3 Weeks: Retains 50% of its original tensile strength.</li><li>56–76 Days: Achieves complete mass absorption.</li></ul>
Is this suitable for delicate ophthalmic work?
Absolutely. This product features a 1/2 circle conventional spatula needle, which is specialized for the precision required in ophthalmic procedures and other delicate soft tissue approximation.
What is the benefit of the braided construction?
The braided Polyglactin 910 structure offers optimized handling characteristics. This design makes the suture easier to manage, improves flexibility, and enhances the ease of knot tying compared to monofilament alternatives.
Does this needle come double-armed?
Yes, each unit is supplied with a double-armed stainless steel needle configuration, providing surgeons with greater versatility and efficiency during tissue approximation and ligation tasks.
Can I use this for cardiovascular or neurological procedures?
No. While highly effective for general soft tissue approximation, ligation, and ophthalmic surgery, this suture is not indicated for use in cardiovascular or neurological tissues.
Is the material synthetic or natural?
The Vicryl suture is made from Polyglactin 910, which is a high-quality, synthetic, braided material. Its synthetic nature ensures a predictable and consistent degradation profile compared to natural absorbable materials.
What are the dimensions of the needle?
The needle is an 8 mm, 1/2 circle conventional spatula needle crafted from durable stainless steel, designed specifically for precision in soft tissue work.
Is this product provided in sterile condition?
Yes, all sutures are delivered in sterile medical packaging, ensuring they are ready for immediate use in professional clinical and surgical environments.
What is the primary application for this 6-0 size?
The 6-0 size is ideal for fine soft tissue approximation and ligation. It is frequently utilized in clinical settings for: <ul><li>Ophthalmic procedures</li><li>Reproductive tract surgery</li><li>General muscle and tissue repair</li><li>Orthopedic procedures</li></ul>
