Frequently asked questions
Does this suture minimize tissue trauma?
Yes, the Polysorb suture features a tight, braided structure specifically engineered to glide smoothly through tissue, which significantly reduces drag and irritation during the suturing process.
How long does it provide wound support?
This suture offers reliable wound support for up to 3 weeks, which covers the most critical period of the initial healing phase.
Is the absorption profile predictable?
Yes, Polysorb sutures are known for a highly predictable absorption timeline, with a complete mass absorption occurring within 50 to 90 days.
Are these sutures sterile?
Yes, every unit is provided in sterile, sealed individual sachets, ensuring they are ready for use in professional surgical and clinical environments.
What does the California Proposition 65 warning mean?
This label indicates that the product or its packaging materials are subject to California Proposition 65 regulations, which require notification for materials that may contain chemicals known to the state of California to cause potential health effects.
Is this product suitable for skin closure?
Yes, the precision reverse cutting needle and the 3-0 size make this an excellent choice for skin closure and procedures requiring high tensile strength with minimal tissue drag.
What type of needle does this include?
This unit comes with a 19 mm P-12 Precision Reverse Cutting Needle. The 3/8 circle geometry is specifically designed to provide surgeons with precise control and effective penetration during skin and soft tissue closure.
Is this suture braided or monofilament?
It is a braided suture. This construction method allows for the signature smooth-gliding performance and secure knot holding.
Does this suture require special storage?
While the product is provided in professional, sterile-sealed foil packaging, it should be kept in a cool, dry, and sterile medical supply environment to maintain the integrity of the synthetic material and the sterilization seal.
Is the material synthetic or natural?
The Polysorb suture is crafted from a synthetic polyester material. Synthetic sutures are often preferred for their consistency, predictable absorption rates, and reduced tissue reactivity compared to natural alternatives.
