Frequently asked questions

Does this suture offer rapid absorption properties?

Yes, Vicryl Rapide is engineered specifically for fast absorption. It is widely considered the fastest-absorbing synthetic suture available, making it the preferred choice for clinical applications that require quick material breakdown.

Is the tissue reactivity lower than traditional sutures?

Absolutely. Compared to traditional chromic gut sutures, the Vicryl Rapide Polyglactin 910 is specifically formulated to elicit a significantly lower inflammatory response in patient tissue.

Does the material provide high initial tensile strength?

Yes, it provides robust initial tensile strength that is comparable to Nylon and Gut, ensuring secure wound approximation during the early stages of the healing process.

What is the benefit of the precision reverse cutting needle?

The 19 mm PS-2 3/8 circle precision reverse cutting needle is designed to provide:

  • Controlled penetration: Easier passage through tissue.
  • Minimal trauma: Reduces drag and helps maintain the integrity of the wound site.
Are these sutures made of synthetic material?

Yes, this product is crafted from Polyglactin 910, which is a high-performance synthetic material that offers more consistent and predictable performance than natural materials.

How is the suture constructed for handling?

The suture features a braided design. This construction improves knot security and handling characteristics, allowing clinicians to place sutures with greater confidence and ease.

Is the suture delivered in a sterile state?

Yes, this is a factory-new, sterile product intended for professional use in clinical or surgical environments, ensuring it meets strict medical safety standards.

What is the standard length of each suture strand?

Each individual suture strand is 27 inches long, providing ample length for standard surgical wound closure procedures.

How many sutures are included in a standard box?

Each box contains 12 individual strands, with one needle attached to each strand, providing a convenient supply for clinical needs.

Is this product suitable for delicate surgical applications?

Given the 4-0 size and the precision engineering of the PS-2 needle, this suture is designed for applications where accuracy, minimal tissue trauma, and reliable wound approximation are critical.
