Frequently asked questions
Does this suture minimize tissue trauma during use?
Yes. This suture features a specialized coating designed specifically to minimize friction. This allows for a smoother transition through tissue, significantly reducing drag and potential trauma during surgical procedures.
How long does the suture maintain its tensile strength?
The McKesson Polyglycolic Acid Suture is engineered for secure wound support during the critical healing phase: <ul><li>Two weeks: Retains 50% of tensile strength.</li><li>Three weeks: Retains 20% of tensile strength.</li></ul>
Is the needle design optimized for accuracy?
Absolutely. It is equipped with a P-13 3/8 circle precision reverse cutting needle. This specific geometry is ideal for clinical tasks where meticulous accuracy and refined control are paramount.
Is this product safe for patients with latex allergies?
Yes, these sutures are not made with natural rubber latex, making them a suitable choice for clinical environments where latex sensitivity is a concern.
Is the suture material braided for durability?
Yes, the material is braided polyglycolic acid. This construction provides the necessary flexibility for handling while maintaining the strength required for effective, reliable wound closure.
Are these sutures suitable for single-use clinical environments?
Yes, these are designed as single-use, sterile (EO) devices. For safety and sterility standards, they should never be re-sterilized or reused.
What is the specific needle length included?
The P-13 needle features a precision length of 13 mm, which is designed to complement the 5-0 suture size for delicate wound management.
How many units are included in each box?
Each box contains 12 individual sterile strands, ensuring medical professionals have a reliable supply for surgical or clinical procedures.
Is this suture considered a synthetic absorbable type?
Yes, this is a synthetic absorbable suture. It is specifically crafted to provide a controlled degradation profile, offering strength when it is most needed during the initial stages of healing.
Is this product appropriate for professional surgical suites?
Yes, the McKesson Polyglycolic Acid Suture is specifically developed for use in surgical suites, clinics, and professional wound management environments where high-performance, precise closure materials are required.
