Frequently asked questions
Is this suture suitable for eye surgeries?
Yes, the Coated Vicryl Polyglactin 910 is specifically designed for delicate soft tissue approximation, including ophthalmic procedures, where precision and reliable knot security are essential.
How predictable is the absorption timeline?
The suture is engineered for a predictable absorption profile:
- Tensile Strength: Retains approximately 50% strength after 3 weeks.
- Complete Absorption: The material undergoes complete mass absorption within 56 to 76 days.
Does this needle design offer good control?
Yes, this product features a double-armed, 3/8 circle spatula stainless steel needle (TG140-8). The spatula design is optimized for delicate surgical work, allowing for better handling and maneuverability in tight anatomical spaces.
What tissues should this suture not be used on?
The Coated Vicryl Polyglactin 910 is not indicated for use in cardiovascular or neurological tissues. It is primarily intended for general soft tissue approximation and ligation.
Is the knot security reliable?
Yes, the braided structure of the Polyglactin 910 material is engineered to provide excellent knot security on the first throw, ensuring high performance and peace of mind during surgical procedures.
What is the needle length for the TG140-8?
The TG140-8 spatula needle has a functional length of 6.5 mm, designed to balance penetration precision with surgical control.
Does the suture come in a sterile package?
Yes, these sutures are supplied as sterile factory-new units, ensuring they are ready for use in professional clinical and surgical environments.
Is this a single-needle or double-armed suture?
This unit is supplied with double-armed needles (one on each end of the suture strand), which is standard for specialized surgical tasks requiring two-way closure or ligation.
What is the suture size and length?
This specific variant features an 8-0 size suture, which is an ultra-fine diameter for delicate tissues, and a total length of 8 inches.
Is the suture material dyed?
Yes, this is a dyed synthetic suture in violet color, which helps improve visibility against tissue during the surgical process.
