Frequently asked questions
Does this suture offer reliable tensile strength retention?
Yes, this suture is engineered for effective wound closure, maintaining 64%-76% of its original tensile strength after the first week to ensure security during the critical early healing phase.
Is the material safe for patients with latex allergies?
Absolutely. The McKesson Absorbable Surgical Suture is manufactured to be free from natural rubber latex, prioritizing patient safety in clinical environments.
How does the monofilament construction benefit surgical procedures?
The monofilament design, combined with its PGA-PCL material, provides excellent pliability and superior handling, making it highly effective for precise soft tissue approximation and subcuticular closures.
What is the primary benefit of the P-12 precision reverse cutting needle?
The P-12 needle is crafted from a high-quality alloy and is designed to offer excellent penetration capability and enhanced control for the surgeon during delicate procedures.
Is the suture material suitable for absorbable applications?
Yes, it is constructed from Polyglycolic Acid and Polycaprolactone (PGA-PCL). This specific blend is chosen for its ideal balance between mechanical support and its predictable absorption profile during the patient’s recovery.
How many suture strands are included in one box?
Each box contains 12 individual, sterile, single-use suture strands, providing a convenient and organized supply for medical facilities.
Is the suture dyed for visibility?
No, this specific product configuration features undyed sutures, which are often preferred for their clean appearance in specific cosmetic or sensitive tissue closures.
What is the intended clinical use for this size 4-0 suture?
This suture is specifically optimized for soft tissue approximation and subcuticular closure, providing the necessary tensile support that graduates from approximately 76% at one week to 40% at two weeks.
Are the needles pre-attached to the suture strands?
Yes, each of the 12 strands comes with a factory-attached P-12 3/8 circle precision reverse cutting needle, ensuring they are ready for immediate clinical use upon opening the sterile packaging.
What are the physical dimensions of the included needle?
The P-12 precision needle has a length of 19 mm and features a 3/8 circle shape, designed for optimal maneuverability in surgical settings.
