Frequently asked questions
Does this suture provide reliable strength during healing?
Yes, it is engineered for a predictable tensile strength profile. It retains significant integrity during the critical initial stages of healing, losing 50% of its tensile strength at 3 weeks, with complete mass absorption occurring within 56 to 76 days.
Is the knot security reliable for surgeons?
Absolutely. The suture is designed with a braided structure and specialized coating to provide superior knot security from the very first throw, ensuring high performance during ligation.
Is this suture suited for ophthalmic procedures?
Yes, the S-29 needle configuration is specifically designed for delicate procedures. It features a 1/4 circle conventional spatula needle, which provides the precise geometry required for ophthalmic surgery.
Does the coating improve tissue passage?
Yes, the specialized coating is intentionally applied to the braided Polyglactin 910 material. This combination ensures smooth passage through tissue with minimal drag, which is essential for delicate surgical work.
Is this a double-armed needle configuration?
Yes, this specific unit comes with a double-armed needle setup, which is ideal for procedures requiring symmetric suturing or specialized placement in tight spaces.
What is the primary material composition?
The suture is made from Polyglactin 910, a high-quality synthetic material that is dyed violet for better visibility and braided for improved handling and strength.
Is this suture appropriate for cardiovascular procedures?
No, this specific product is contraindicated for use in cardiovascular or neurological tissues. It is intended for general soft tissue approximation and ligation, including ophthalmic, reproductive tract, and orthopedic procedures.
How long is each suture strand?
Each suture strand in this configuration measures 12 inches in length, providing sufficient material for standard soft tissue approximation and ligation tasks.
Is the needle made of high-quality material?
Yes, the needle is crafted from durable stainless steel, ensuring the precision and sharpness required for consistent performance throughout the surgical procedure.
Is the suture sterile upon arrival?
Yes, all Coated Vicryl sutures are supplied as sterile units, maintaining the strict clinical standards necessary for safe medical and surgical application.
