Frequently asked questions

Does this suture offer long-term support?

Yes, this suture features a 180-day absorption profile, providing reliable structural support throughout the healing process while gradually reducing in strength as the tissue recovers.

Is the tensile strength reliable during healing?

It is designed for durability, maintaining approximately 80% of its original strength at one week post-implant, ensuring the wound remains secure during the critical early healing phase.

Is the needle design helpful for precision?

Yes, it includes a 19 mm precision reverse-cutting needle shaped in a 3/8 circle. This design is engineered to facilitate smooth tissue penetration and give the clinician superior control.

Are these sutures safe for latex-sensitive patients?

Absolutely. This product is not made with natural rubber latex, making it a safe choice for patients and clinical environments where latex allergies are a concern.

Is this product sterile?

Yes, each of the 36 strands included in the box is individually sterile and intended for single-use to ensure clinical safety.

How does the monofilament design affect tissue?

The monofilament construction allows for a smooth passage through tissue, which helps to minimize trauma and drag during the suturing process.

How much strength is retained over the first month?

The suture is engineered for a gradual, predictable reduction in strength: it retains 75% at two weeks, 50% at four weeks, and 25% at six weeks post-implant.

Can I use this for general surgical applications?

Yes, it is designed for professional surgical and clinical environments that require secure, reliable wound approximation.

Is the thread coated for easier handling?

No, this specific monofilament suture is uncoated, which is often preferred for specific clinical techniques requiring precise knot security and handling.

What is the total quantity provided?

Each box contains 36 sterile suture strands with attached P-12 needles.
