Frequently asked questions
Does this suture offer antibacterial protection?
Yes, this suture is specifically engineered to help reduce surgical site infection risks. It is infused with Irgacare MP, an antibacterial agent designed to protect the wound site from bacterial colonization.
How long does the suture provide wound support?
The Monocryl Plus suture is designed to provide reliable strength and tension maintenance for the initial 1 to 2 weeks following the procedure, which is the critical period for primary wound healing.
When does the suture material fully absorb?
The Poliglecaprone 25 material has a predictable absorption profile. It will fully absorb into the body over a period of 90 to 120 days.
Is the monofilament design beneficial for delicate tissue?
Absolutely. As a monofilament, the suture minimizes tissue drag, ensuring a very smooth passage through delicate structures, which helps in reducing trauma during the closure process.
What type of needle is included?
Each unit includes a high-quality PS-1 3/8 circle reverse cutting stainless steel needle. This needle measures 24 mm and is specifically optimized for effective tissue approximation.
Is the material type durable and safe?
The suture is made from Poliglecaprone 25, a high-performance, sterile synthetic material known for its consistency and reliability in surgical wound closure applications.
How many sutures are provided per package?
Each unit is supplied as a 12-strand box, where each strand comes with its own sterile, attached needle.
Does the coating impact handling or passage?
While this specific suture is uncoated, its monofilament structure is inherently designed to glide through tissue smoothly, ensuring a clean and precise closure without the need for additional coatings.
Is the suture color standard?
This version is an undyed synthetic suture, which is often preferred for its clean profile in surgical environments.
What is the primary clinical benefit of this suture?
The primary benefit is the combination of high-performance wound support and advanced infection prevention. It is ideal for surgical procedures where minimizing the risk of surgical site infections (SSI) is a primary clinical priority.
