Frequently asked questions
What high-quality nonabsorbable material is used?
The Medtronic Surgipro II sutures are composed primarily of polypropylene, which is an inert, nonabsorbable monofilament material (containing polyethylene).
This material composition is specifically designed to offer reliable performance and permanent support:
- Permanent Support: The nonabsorbable nature ensures long-term tissue approximation where needed.
- Optimal Handling: The material is manufactured using an advanced extrusion process, resulting in a uniform diameter and maximum strand flexibility.
- Enhanced Security: The suture exhibits minimal memory and reduced “pig-tailing,” contributing to superior knot security for forming snug and flattened knots.
- Visibility: Most configurations are pigmented blue to maximize visibility in the surgical field, although clear variants are also available.
What are the key surgical applications for these sutures?
The Medtronic Surgipro II sutures are nonabsorbable, sterile monofilament sutures indicated for general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation.
They are manufactured from high-quality polypropylene, offering excellent security with snug, flattened knots and minimal memory. These performance characteristics make them ideal for demanding applications in specialized fields, including:
- Cardiovascular surgery
- Ophthalmic surgery
- Neurological surgery
Most configurations are pigmented blue to ensure enhanced visibility during complex procedures.
What sizes are the sutures available in?
The SURGIPRO II premium reverse cutting sutures are available in a range of sizes suitable for general soft tissue approximation and ligation, including specialized areas like cardiovascular, ophthalmic, and neurological surgery.
The available suture sizes are:
- 7-0
- 6-0
- 5-0
- 4-0
- 3-0
These sutures are monofilament and nonabsorbable, constructed from an inert polypropylene material. An advanced extrusion process ensures a uniform diameter and maximum strand flexibility, leading to excellent knot security and minimal memory.
What color options are available for the sutures?
Yes, the SURGIPRO II sutures are available in two distinct color options to meet different surgical needs:
- Blue: The suture is pigmented blue specifically to significantly improve visibility during surgical procedures, aiding in precise handling.
- Clear: An unpigmented, clear option is also available for specific product variants.
What specific premium reverse cutting needle variants are offered?
The Medtronic Surgipro II sutures utilize Premium Reverse Cutting needles, featuring a standard 3/8 Circle curvature for optimal precision in tissue approximation and ligation.
Specific needle variants, identified by their P-Codes, are available in the following options:
- P-10
- P-11
- P-12
- P-13
- P-14
- P-16
What is the standard suture length?
The SURGIPRO II sutures are consistently manufactured with a standard length of 18 inches. This length is uniform across all available configurations, including all sizes and needle types.
What are the available packaging quantities?
The Medtronic Surgipro II sutures are offered in two standard packaging configurations per box:
- 1 dozen (1 dz/bx)
- 3 dozen (3 dz/bx)
Are these sutures nonabsorbable for permanent support?
Yes, Medtronic Surgipro II sutures are inherently nonabsorbable, meaning they are engineered to maintain their strength and provide permanent tissue approximation and ligation.
Key details regarding their composition and performance include:
- Material: They are composed of an inert, isotactic, crystalline stereoisomer of polypropylene.
- Visibility: The material is pigmented blue to enhance visibility during surgical procedures.
- Application: Their nonabsorbable nature makes them essential for procedures requiring sustained long-term support, including applications in cardiovascular, ophthalmic, and neurological surgery.
Do these sutures feature advanced monofilament construction?
Yes, Medtronic Surgipro II sutures utilize an advanced monofilament construction made from inert, nonabsorbable polypropylene and polyethylene.
This premium design is achieved through an advanced extrusion process that ensures maximum performance and handling characteristics:
- Uniform Diameter and Flexibility: The process yields a highly uniform diameter and maximum strand flexibility, making the suture easier to handle.
- Superior Knot Security: The material is designed with minimal memory and reduced ‘pig-tailing,’ ensuring consistent strength and the formation of snug, flattened knots.
- Permanent Tissue Support: As the material is inert and nonabsorbable, it provides reliable, long-term support for soft tissue approximation and ligation, even in demanding areas like cardiovascular and neurological surgery.
Does this suture offer minimal memory?
Yes, the Medtronic SURGIPRO II sutures are engineered specifically for minimal memory.
This superior handling characteristic is a direct result of the advanced extrusion process applied to the polypropylene strand, which ensures optimal performance and reduced handling frustration:
- Maximum Flexibility: The suture remains highly pliable and easy to manipulate during surgical procedures.
- Reduced ‘Pig-Tailing’: Minimal memory significantly reduces the undesirable tendency for the strand to curl or loop.
- Uniform Diameter: The process also guarantees a consistent, uniform strand diameter for reliable suturing.
