Frequently asked questions
Does this suture provide reliable tissue support?
Yes, it is engineered for a consistent strength profile. It retains 50% of its initial tensile strength after two weeks and 20% after three weeks, ensuring reliable support throughout the initial healing phase.
Is the suture material easy to handle?
Absolutely. It features a specialized low-friction coating and a braided structure, which work together to significantly reduce tissue drag and provide excellent knot security during surgical procedures.
Is this suture safe for patients with latex allergies?
Yes, this product is 100% latex-free. It is not made with natural rubber latex, making it a safe choice for patients with sensitivities.
What kind of needle comes with this suture?
Each suture is paired with a high-quality P-12 3/8 circle precision reverse cutting needle. This 19 mm alloy needle is specifically designed for procedures that demand clean, accurate tissue penetration.
How many sutures are included in one box?
Each box contains 12 individual sterile suture packets, ensuring you have an adequate supply for clinical wound management applications.
Is the material absorbable?
Yes, this is a synthetic, absorbable suture made from polyglycolic acid, which is ideal for soft tissue approximation where the suture is intended to be naturally broken down by the body over time.
Is this product sterile for immediate clinical use?
Yes, all sutures are provided as sterile, single-use devices processed with Ethylene Oxide to ensure they meet clinical safety standards.
What is the length of the suture strand?
Each strand in this package measures 18 inches in length, providing a standard size suitable for a wide variety of surgical wound closure needs.
Can these sutures be re-sterilized if unused?
No. These are strictly single-use devices. For patient safety and to maintain the integrity of the material, they must not be re-sterilized after the initial sterile packaging is opened.
Is the suture color visible during surgery?
These sutures are undyed, providing a clean and subtle profile suitable for applications where a non-pigmented material is preferred.
