Medtronic Surgipro Ii - Surgipro Monofilament Polypropylene Conventional Cutting Sutures

Yes, the Medtronic Surgipro II sutures are engineered for high performance and compatibility:

• Inert and Nonabsorbable: They are composed of an isotactic, crystalline stereoisomer of polypropylene (and polyethylene), ensuring the material is highly inert within tissue. Being nonabsorbable, they provide permanent tensile strength and long-term tissue support.
• Enhanced Visibility: The monofilament is pigmented blue to significantly improve visualization and handling during complex procedures, such as cardiovascular, ophthalmic, and neurological surgery.

Yes, the Medtronic Surgipro II sutures are nonabsorbable.

They are composed of an inert, synthetic material—primarily an isotactic, crystalline stereoisomer of polypropylene (which includes polyethylene components).

This nonabsorbable composition ensures:

• Permanent Tensile Strength: The suture maintains its structural integrity indefinitely, providing long-term support for the approximated tissue.
• Inertness: The material minimizes tissue reaction, making it highly suitable for surgical use.

These characteristics make Surgipro II ideal for critical procedures requiring durable support, such as cardiovascular, ophthalmic, and neurological surgery, in addition to general soft tissue approximation and ligation.

Yes, the Surgipro II sutures are intentionally pigmented blue to significantly improve visibility during surgical procedures. This feature is a key selling point:

• Enhanced Contrast: The blue hue provides maximum contrast against various biological tissues, ensuring the nonabsorbable monofilament strand is easy to track and manipulate.
• Precise Placement: High visibility facilitates greater accuracy during general soft tissue approximation and ligation.

The Medtronic Surgipro II sutures are designed for versatility in soft tissue approximation and ligation, offered in the following range of sizes:

• Size 6-0
• Size 5-0
• Size 4-0
• Size 3-0

These are monofilament, nonabsorbable polypropylene sutures suitable for specialized fields including cardiovascular, ophthalmic, and neurological surgery. Each suture is 18 inches long and packaged with 3 dozen (36) sutures per box.

Each box of Medtronic Surgipro II sutures contains 3 dozen (3 dz/bx). This corresponds to 36 individual sterile suture units, each comprising the monofilament polypropylene thread and the conventional cutting needle.

Yes, Medtronic Surgipro II sutures are specifically indicated for use in critical surgical fields, including cardiovascular surgery.

These high-quality, nonabsorbable monofilament sutures are designed for general soft tissue approximation and ligation, offering reliable performance due to:

• Versatile Application: Suitable for complex procedures in cardiovascular, ophthalmic, and neurological surgery.
• Permanent Support: Composed of inert polypropylene and polyethylene, they are nonabsorbable, ensuring long-term tensile strength retention for lasting tissue support.
• Enhanced Visibility: The monofilament strand is pigmented blue to ensure excellent visualization against biological tissues during procedures.
• Superior Knot Performance: An advanced extrusion process results in minimal memory and reduced “pig-tailing,” providing excellent strand flexibility and security for snug, flattened knots.

Yes, the Medtronic Surgipro II sutures are securely attached to high-quality Conventional Cutting needles.

These needles are specifically designed with sharp cutting edges, making them effective for penetrating and passing through dense or tough tissues encountered in various surgical procedures.

Key specifications for the attached needles include:

• Needle Type: Conventional Cutting
• Needle Curvature: 3/8 Circle (standard across listed variants)
• Needle Codes: Depending on the specific variant (suture size), the needle codes used are PC-11, PC-12, or PC-13.

Yes, the Medtronic Surgipro II sutures are engineered using an advanced extrusion process designed to enhance handling and ensure superior surgical performance.

This advanced manufacturing technique yields several key benefits for the monofilament strand:

• Maximum Strand Flexibility: Provides excellent handling and ease of manipulation during placement.
• Uniform Diameter: Ensures a consistent and predictable feel along the entire length of the suture.
• Superior Knot Performance: Facilitates snug, flattened knots with minimal memory and reduced tendency toward “pig-tailing,” ensuring consistent knotting strength and security.

Yes, Medtronic Surgipro II sutures are supplied as sterile and in Factory New condition.

These are high-quality, nonabsorbable monofilament sutures composed of an inert polypropylene and polyethylene material, ensuring long-lasting tissue support.

They are indicated for general soft tissue approximation and ligation, including critical surgical specialties such as:

• Cardiovascular surgery
• Ophthalmic surgery
• Neurological procedures

Yes, these Medtronic Surgipro II sutures are designed for high versatility. While indicated for general soft tissue approximation and ligation, they are specifically suitable for demanding, specialized procedures, including:
