Frequently asked questions
Does this suture offer reliable long-term strength?
Yes, this polyglycolic acid suture is engineered for dependable wound closure. It maintains its structural integrity throughout the critical healing phase, specifically retaining 50% of its tensile strength at two weeks and 20% at three weeks.
Is the material easy to handle during procedures?
Absolutely. The suture is specifically coated to provide a low-friction surface. This design significantly reduces tissue drag, allowing for smoother and more precise passage through tissue during delicate surgical applications.
Is the included needle suitable for precise placement?
Yes, the product features a P-12 type 3/8 circle precision reverse cutting needle. This professional-grade needle geometry is selected for its superior maneuverability, allowing for controlled and accurate penetration during wound approximation.
Are these sutures safe for patients with latex allergies?
Yes, this product is 100% latex-free. It is manufactured without the use of natural rubber latex, making it a safe choice for surgical environments involving patients with latex sensitivities.
Does this require any special post-procedural removal?
No, there is no need for removal. As a fully absorbable braided suture, it is designed to be naturally broken down and absorbed by the body over time following the successful closure of the wound.
What is the total length of each suture strand?
Each individual suture strand provided in the pack measures 30 inches in length, offering sufficient material for versatile use in a wide variety of clinical wound closure scenarios.
How many strands are included in a standard box?
Each purchase includes a high-capacity dispenser box containing 36 sterile suture strands, ensuring a reliable supply for professional surgical or nursing settings.
Is this suture designed for single-use sterility?
Yes, to maintain the highest standards of safety and hygiene in clinical environments, this product is strictly intended for single use only. Each unit is provided in a sterile foil packet and should never be reused.
What is the specific needle length included here?
The P-12 precision reverse cutting needle features a length of 19 mm, providing an ideal balance between needle size and controlled maneuverability for effective tissue penetration.
What material is the braided suture made from?
The suture is crafted from high-quality polyglycolic acid. This braided material is highly regarded in medical settings for its combination of tensile strength and predictable absorption profile.
