Frequently asked questions
Is the knot security reliable during surgery?
Yes, this suture is specifically engineered for superior knot performance. It provides exceptional security starting from the very first throw, ensuring high-quality wound closure and peace of mind during delicate procedures.
How long does the suture maintain its tensile strength?
This Vicryl Polyglactin 910 suture is designed for a predictable and reliable profile: - 3 Weeks: Retains 50% of its original tensile strength. - 56 to 76 Days: Complete mass absorption occurs.
Are the needles suitable for delicate ophthalmic work?
Absolutely. Each strand comes with double-armed 1/2 circle ophthalmic spatula needles. These 5.5 mm stainless steel needles are precision-engineered to provide the control and delicate handling required for ophthalmic surgeries.
Is the material easy to see during surgery?
Yes, the suture is dyed violet. This specific coloring ensures high visibility against tissue, allowing surgeons to maintain better track of the material during complex procedures.
What is the primary material used for this suture?
This product is made from Polyglactin 910, a high-quality, synthetic, and sterile material. It features a specialized coating that enhances handling and allows for smooth passage through tissue.
Are these double-armed for better surgical flexibility?
Yes, the suture is supplied in a double-armed configuration. This setup is particularly beneficial for complex tissue approximation and ophthalmic applications where having a needle on both ends increases surgical efficiency.
Is this a single-use sterile product?
Yes, this is a factory new, sterile, single-use surgical device. It arrives in clinical-grade packaging designed to maintain strict sterility standards for use in professional surgical environments.
Can this be used for applications beyond ophthalmology?
While optimized for ophthalmic design, its versatility makes it a reliable choice for several other disciplines, including: - General tissue and muscle approximation - Ligatures - Reproductive tract surgery - Orthopedic procedures (as a secondary option)
How many strands are included in the pack?
Each unit is a 12-strand pack. Each strand is equipped with integrated, high-precision, double-armed stainless steel needles.
Is the suture monofilament or braided?
This specific item (size 9-0) is a monofilament suture. This structure is specifically chosen to provide the precision required for the delicate nature of 9-0 gauge applications.
