Frequently asked questions

Does this suture provide reliable initial strength?

Yes, the Vicryl Rapide is engineered to provide initial tensile strength comparable to both Nylon and Gut sutures. This ensures the integrity of the wound closure during the critical early stages of the healing process.

Is this suture designed for fast absorption?

Yes, it is specifically recognized as the fastest-absorbing synthetic suture available. It is designed for clinical applications where short-term support is required before the body absorbs the material.

Does the material reduce tissue reaction?

Absolutely. Because it is a high-quality synthetic material, it is engineered to elicit a lower tissue reaction compared to traditional chromic gut sutures, which helps in promoting better overall patient healing outcomes.

Is the needle designed for precision work?

Yes, it features a P-3, 3/8 circle precision reverse cutting needle. This stainless steel needle is specifically crafted to provide accurate and controlled tissue penetration.

What is the material composition of the suture?

The suture is made from Polyglactin 910, which is a braided, undyed synthetic material known for its reliability and predictable absorption profile.

Is this product sterile and ready for use?

Yes, each unit is provided as a factory-new, sterile product. The sutures are packaged in individual sterile foil sachets to ensure they remain safe and ready for clinical use.

How long is each individual suture thread?

Each suture strand in this pack is 18 inches long, providing an ideal length for standard wound closure procedures.

How many suture strands are included in a pack?

This product comes in a standard pack containing 12 strands, each paired with its own individual P-3 precision needle.

Is the needle material durable?

The needle is constructed from durable stainless steel, ensuring it maintains its geometry and sharpness during the navigation of tissue.

Is this suture suitable for controlled tissue navigation?

Yes, the combination of the 3/8 circle geometry and the precision reverse cutting edge allows for highly effective and controlled movement through tissue, minimizing trauma during the closure process.
