Frequently asked questions
Is Vicryl Rapide faster than traditional sutures?
Yes, Vicryl Rapide is the fastest-absorbing synthetic suture available. It is specifically engineered for clinical scenarios where short-term wound support is the primary requirement, making it highly efficient for rapid healing processes.
Does this suture offer superior knot security?
Absolutely. The braided structure of the Polyglactin 910 material provides excellent handling characteristics and superior knot security compared to monofilament alternatives, ensuring the suture remains reliably in place.
Is the tissue reaction low for patients?
Yes, it is designed to cause minimal tissue reaction. It is specifically formulated to be less reactive than traditional chromic gut sutures, which helps in enhancing overall patient comfort during the recovery period.
Does the needle provide high precision?
Yes, it features a PS-2 3/8 circle precision reverse cutting needle. This design is specifically chosen for delicate surgical procedures to offer superior control and significantly reduce tissue trauma during insertion.
How strong is the tensile strength?
Despite being an absorbable synthetic, it maintains an initial tensile strength comparable to Nylon and Gut sutures, providing the necessary durability during the critical early stages of wound healing.
Is the material easy to pull through tissue?
Yes, the suture features a proprietary coating applied to the braided Polyglactin 910. This specialized construction ensures the thread passes through tissue with minimal resistance and smooth friction.
What is the length of the suture strand?
Each suture strand in the pack is 18 inches (45 cm) long, providing an ideal length for most standard clinical wound closure procedures.
Are these sutures sterile for clinical use?
Yes, every pack contains 12 sterile strands, manufactured under strict medical standards to ensure they are ready for immediate use in professional surgical and clinical environments.
Is the suture material synthetic?
Yes, it is a high-performance synthetic Polyglactin 910 suture. Synthetic materials are preferred in modern surgery for their predictable absorption rates and consistency compared to natural biological materials.
Does the needle design help reduce trauma?
The reverse cutting geometry of the PS-2 needle is engineered to minimize the risk of the needle ‘cutting out’ of the tissue. By directing the cutting edges away from the wound margin, it promotes cleaner closures and less trauma.
