Frequently asked questions
What premium material are these sutures made from?
Yes, these Medtronic Surgidac sutures are constructed from high-quality, specialized materials designed for permanent surgical support. They are supplied as sterile, factory-new surgical devices.
The key features and materials include:
- Primary Material: The sutures are made from Polyethylene Terephthalate (Polyester). This material is characterized by its high molecular weight, long-chain composition, which ensures superior strength and integrity.
- Nonabsorbable: As a nonabsorbable material, it provides permanent tissue approximation and reliable long-term tensile strength retention for critical procedures.
- Optimized Handling: The braided structure is intentionally uncoated to maximize surface lubricity. This design choice facilitates easier tissue passage, improves handling characteristics, and ensures secure knot run-down properties during surgery.
Are these sutures permanent and nonabsorbable?
Yes, the Medtronic Surgidac sutures are nonabsorbable, making them ideal for procedures requiring permanent tissue approximation and long-term wound support.This composition ensures that the sutures maintain their tensile strength indefinitely.
Key details regarding their material:
- Material Composition: They are made from high molecular weight, long-chain, linear polyethylene terephthalate (Polyester) fibers.
- Structure: These sutures feature a durable, braided design and are supplied as sterile surgical devices.
Which sizes are these sutures available in?
The Medtronic Surgidac Polyester Sutures are available in three common sizes suitable for various surgical applications:
- 4-0
- 5-0
- 6-0
These are high-quality, nonabsorbable sutures made from braided polyethylene terephthalate (polyester). All configurations maintain a standard length of 18 inches and are packaged conveniently with one dozen (1 dz) per box. The uncoated, braided structure is specifically engineered to optimize handling and ensure easier passage through tissue.
Are different specialized needle types available?
Yes, Medtronic Surgidac sutures are available in a variety of specialized configurations to accommodate different surgical requirements.
Key customization options include:
- Suture Sizes: 4-0, 5-0, and 6-0.
- Needle Curvatures: Available in
Circle,
Circle, and
Circle. - Needle Types: Configurations include various surgical needles (e.g., SS-2, SS-14, SS-24, SS-29). The product line often features specialized designs like Premium Spatula and Inverted Premium Spatula for precise tissue handling.
What reliable needle curvature options are available?
The Medtronic Surgidac Polyester Sutures offer multiple needle configurations designed for precise control and optimal handling across various procedures. The following curvature options are available:
- ¼ Circle
- 3/8 Circle
- ½ Circle
These curvatures are paired with specific needle styles to suit diverse surgical needs, including the Premium Spatula and Inverted Premium Spatula.
How many sutures are in each box?
The Medtronic Surgidac Polyester Sutures are packaged in boxes containing 1 dozen (12) sutures each. This standardized quantity (1 dz/bx) is designed for practical use in surgical settings.
Are these sterile, new surgical sutures?
Yes, the Medtronic Surgidac Polyester Sutures are supplied as sterile surgical sutures and are guaranteed to be in Factory New condition, ensuring optimal safety and performance for medical procedures.
These high-quality sutures are nonabsorbable and are composed of braided polyethylene terephthalate fibers, designed for procedures requiring long-term tissue approximation.
Key Quality Features
- Nonabsorbable Material: Constructed from durable polyethylene terephthalate (Polyester).
- Enhanced Handling: The sutures are uncoated to maximize surface lubricity, which facilitates easier passage through tissue and ensures reliable knot run-down during closure.
- Availability: They are available in common sizes (4-0, 5-0, 6-0), measure 18 inches in length, and are packaged as 1 dozen (1 dz/bx) per box.
Is the suture length consistently 18 inches?
Yes, the standard length for all configurations of the Medtronic Surgidac Polyester Sutures is consistently 18 inches (18”).
These sutures are designed for high-strength, permanent tissue approximation and are provided in sterile packaging:
- Length: All variants are 18 inches.
- Quantity: Sutures are packaged in boxes containing 1 dozen (12 units).
- Material: The sutures are braided, nonabsorbable, and made from high molecular weight polyethylene terephthalate (Polyester).
Do these sutures offer enhanced handling?
Yes, the Medtronic Surgidac Polyester Sutures are specifically engineered for enhanced handling and superior performance during surgical closure.
This optimal handling is achieved primarily through the suture’s unique structure and finish:
- Uncoated Construction: The sutures are intentionally supplied uncoated to maximize surface lubricity. This specialized feature minimizes friction.
- Braided Polyester Material: The braided structure provides reliable strength and the necessary tactile feel for precision.
The benefits of this design directly translate into improved surgical efficiency:
- Easier Tissue Passage: The increased lubricity allows the suture to pass through tissue smoothly with minimal resistance.
- Optimized Knot Run-Down: Facilitates efficient and reliable knot tying for enhanced security.
What color is the Surgidac suture material?
The Medtronic Surgidac Polyester Sutures are consistently manufactured in the color white.
This applies across all available variants, including sizes USP 4-0, 5-0, and 6-0, ensuring standardized visual identification during surgical procedures.
