Frequently asked questions
Does the Polysorb suture provide reliable healing support?
Yes, Polysorb sutures are engineered to provide consistent and reliable wound support for up to 3 weeks post-operation, ensuring the tissue remains securely approximated during the critical early stages of healing.
Is the material designed to reduce tissue trauma?
Absolutely. The suture features a tight braided construction and a specialized coating, both of which are designed to minimize drag and reduce trauma as the material passes through the tissue.
How long does it take for the suture to be fully absorbed?
Polysorb sutures have a predictable absorption profile. The material undergoes complete mass absorption within 50 to 90 days post-procedure.
Is the GS-21 needle suitable for delicate surgical procedures?
Yes, the GS-21 is a high-performance, 1/2 circle taper point needle. Its design is specifically optimized for soft tissue approximation and ophthalmic surgery, where high precision and minimal puncture impact are required.
Can this suture be used for cardiovascular surgery?
No. While the Polysorb suture is excellent for soft tissue approximation and ophthalmic surgery, it is not intended for use in neural or cardiovascular tissue applications.
What is the length of the suture strand provided?
Each unit is supplied with a suture length of 18 inches, providing sufficient material for standard ligation and approximation tasks.
Does the needle have high-quality material construction?
The needle is crafted from a durable alloy material and is configured as a taper point, ensuring it maintains its integrity and sharpness during surgical application.
Is the suture coated for smoother handling?
Yes, the suture is coated specifically to improve its passage through tissue, allowing for a smoother, less resistive experience for the surgeon during suturing.
Are these sutures provided in sterile packaging?
Yes, every unit is delivered sterile to ensure it meets the strict safety and hygiene standards required for surgical environments.
What is the specific needle size for this model?
This model features a 37 mm needle length, specifically designated as the GS-21, providing the necessary reach and geometric profile for deep-tissue access.
