Frequently asked questions
Does this suture offer reliable knot security?
Yes. One of the key benefits of this Polyglactin 910 suture is its excellent handling properties. It is designed to provide reliable knot security starting from the very first throw, ensuring confidence during delicate procedures.
Is the absorption profile predictable for healing?
Absolutely. This suture is engineered for a controlled absorption profile, which offers:
- 50% tensile strength retention at 3 weeks.
- Complete mass absorption within 56 to 76 days post-procedure, allowing for a steady and predictable healing timeline.
What makes the needle ideal for delicate surgery?
The suture comes with a high-precision double-armed, 3/8 circle spatula needle (TG140-8). This specialized needle design is specifically optimized for intricate tissue approximation, particularly in ophthalmic and general surgical settings where precision is critical.
Is the suture easy to pass through tissue?
Yes, it is designed for smooth tissue passage. The monofilament construction combined with a specialized coating allows the suture to glide through tissue with minimal resistance, reducing potential trauma during placement.
Is this product suitable for ophthalmic procedures?
Yes, this suture is frequently utilized in ophthalmic surgeries due to its fine 9-0 gauge size and the high-precision spatula needle, which are both tailored for delicate soft tissue work.
Are the needles made of high-quality material?
Yes, the needles are crafted from durable stainless steel. They are engineered to maintain their shape and sharpness, meeting the rigorous demands of professional clinical environments.
How many needles are included per strand?
Each strand is equipped with double-armed needles. This configuration is designed to provide surgeons with greater flexibility and efficiency when performing precise suturing techniques.
Does the violet color help with visibility?
Yes, the suture is violet-dyed. This distinctive coloration is standard practice to help surgeons easily distinguish the suture material from surrounding tissues during surgery, enhancing overall procedural accuracy.
Is the suture sterile and ready for clinical use?
Yes, all units are factory new and sterile. They are packaged in a way that keeps the 12-strand suture neatly arranged, ensuring they are tangle-free and ready for immediate use in the operating room.
Is this material considered a synthetic suture?
Yes, it is a synthetic Polyglactin 910 suture. Synthetic materials like this are preferred in modern surgery for their consistency, predictable absorption rates, and high level of quality control compared to natural alternatives.
