Frequently asked questions
Does this suture reduce tissue trauma during surgery?
Yes. The monofilament construction is specifically engineered to ensure minimal tissue drag and smooth passage, which significantly reduces trauma compared to traditional braided or natural gut sutures.
What procedures are best suited for this suture?
This suture is ideal for applications where minimizing tissue reaction is critical, including:
- Gastro-intestinal closures
- Bladder repairs
- Subcuticular and fascial closures
- Reproductive tract surgeries
How fast does this material absorb?
The material is designed with a predictable healing profile:
- It retains structural support during the critical early healing stage.
- It loses 60-70% of its tensile strength after the first week.
- Complete mass absorption occurs within 91 to 119 days.
Is the needle design good for deep closures?
Yes, this suture features an SH 1/2 circle Taper Point needle. This shape is specifically chosen by surgeons for deep-tissue penetration, offering excellent control and precision during complex closures.
Is it better than chromic gut sutures?
Compared to traditional chromic gut, this synthetic Poliglecaprone suture offers a more predictable absorption rate and significantly reduced tissue reaction, resulting in a smoother, more reliable healing experience.
Does the monofilament design prevent fraying?
Yes. Because it is a synthetic monofilament, the structure is smooth and non-braided. This eliminates the fraying issues common with traditional multifilament or natural materials, ensuring a consistent performance throughout the procedure.
Is this product suitable for veterinary use?
Absolutely. While it meets all professional clinical standards for human surgical environments, the reliable absorption rate and smooth handling make it an excellent choice for veterinary surgical procedures as well.
What is the needle length and material?
Each strand comes with a high-quality 26 mm Taper Point needle crafted from durable stainless steel, ensuring reliable penetration and strength during the suturing process.
Is the suture coated for easier handling?
No, this specific configuration is uncoated. The monofilament material is naturally smooth, which provides the necessary ease of passage through tissue without requiring additional coating.
How many sutures are in a box?
Each box contains 36 sterile strands, providing a sufficient supply for multiple surgical sessions in a clinical setting.
