Frequently asked questions
Is this suture safe for neurological procedures?
No, this suture is specifically not indicated for use in cardiovascular or neurological tissues. It is designed for general soft tissue approximation, ophthalmic, and orthopedic procedures.
How long does the suture stay strong?
The Coated Vicryl suture is engineered for controlled absorption. It maintains its integrity during the initial healing phase and is designed to reach a 50% loss of tensile strength after approximately 3 weeks.
When is the suture fully absorbed?
Complete mass absorption of the Polyglactin 910 material typically occurs between 56 to 76 days (or roughly 8 to 11 weeks) post-procedure.
Does this needle type work for delicate surgery?
Yes, it features a 1/2 circle, 5.5 mm double-armed spatula needle. This specific design is optimized to provide the finesse and precision required for delicate ophthalmic and fine soft tissue work.
Is it easy to tie secure knots?
Yes. The braided construction is specifically designed for excellent handling, allowing surgeons to achieve smooth knot tying and exceptional security starting with the very first throw.
Are these double-armed needles?
Yes, this product includes a double-armed needle configuration, which is essential for certain intricate surgical techniques and precise wound closure.
Is this material dyed for visibility?
Yes, the suture is violet in color, which provides excellent contrast against tissue to ensure visibility during surgical procedures.
What is the primary gauge of this suture?
This product features an 8-0 gauge size, making it a very fine, thin suture ideal for delicate tissue approximation where minimal tension and high precision are needed.
What does a single unit include?
Each unit ordered consists of a package containing 12 strands of the suture, all equipped with the specified double-armed needles.
Is this a synthetic material?
Yes, it is composed of Polyglactin 910, which is a high-quality, synthetic, absorbable material known for clinical reliability and predictable absorption rates.
