Frequently asked questions
Is the suture designed to minimize tissue trauma?
Yes, this suture features a specialized coating that ensures low friction. This design significantly reduces tissue drag, allowing the suture to glide smoothly and help preserve the integrity of the surrounding tissue during application.
Does this suture maintain reliable strength over time?
It is engineered for consistent and reliable performance post-application. The suture maintains:
- 50% of its tensile strength at two weeks.
- 20% of its tensile strength at three weeks.
Is the needle designed for high-precision procedures?
Absolutely. It is equipped with a P-12 3/8 circle precision reverse cutting needle. This specific design is engineered to assist practitioners in achieving clean, accurate, and controlled tissue penetration.
Are these sutures safe for latex-sensitive patients?
Yes, patient safety is a priority. These sutures are formulated without natural rubber latex, which helps minimize the risk of allergic reactions for patients and staff.
How are the sutures packaged for clinical use?
Each box contains 12 individual, sterile-sealed packs. Each pack includes one suture strand with a pre-attached needle, ensuring that each unit remains sterile and ready for single-use applications.
What are the structural properties of this suture material?
The suture is made of braided polyglycolic acid. This synthetic filament construction is chosen for its excellent handling properties and ability to provide secure, reliable knot tying.
Are there specific storage requirements to maintain quality?
To ensure the material integrity remains intact until the expiration date, these sutures should be stored in a cool, dry place.
Can these sutures be re-sterilized if unused?
No. These sutures are strictly for single-use only. They are provided sterile (EO) and should not be re-sterilized under any circumstances.
What is the physical length of the suture strand?
Each individual suture strand measures 18 inches (45 cm) in length, providing ample material for standard wound closure procedures.
Is this product suitable for professional clinical environments?
Yes, this is a professional-grade medical device designed for use in clinical or surgical settings. It is also VA compliant, reflecting its suitability for rigorous medical standards.
