Frequently asked questions
Are these sutures made from high-quality, inert polypropylene?
Yes, these Surgipro II sutures are made from an exceptionally high-quality, inert, nonabsorbable material.
The core material is an isotactic, crystalline stereoisomer of polypropylene (monofilament), which is engineered for permanent tissue support and maximum biological compatibility.
Key material and quality features include:
- Inert and Nonabsorbable: Designed to provide long-term, permanent tissue approximation and ligation.
- Enhanced Visibility: The strand is pigmented blue to ensure superior visualization against various tissue types during surgery.
- Advanced Manufacturing: An advanced extrusion process ensures a uniform diameter and maximum strand flexibility, which contributes to superior handling and consistent knotting strength.
- Superior Knot Performance: The design minimizes suture memory and reduces “pig-tailing,” resulting in excellent security with snug and flattened knots.
Is the suture highly visible during surgery?
Yes, the Medtronic Surgipro II SURGIPRO sutures are designed for enhanced visibility in the operative field.The suture is composed of inert, monofilament polypropylene which is pigmented blue.
This deliberate blue pigmentation provides excellent contrast, making it easier for surgeons to track and manage the thread against biological tissues during complex procedures, especially in areas like cardiovascular, ophthalmic, and neurological surgery.
Are these Surgipro sutures highly versatile?
Yes, Medtronic Surgipro II sutures are highly versatile, indicated for a broad range of applications in specialized surgical procedures. They are designed for general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation and are specifically utilized in:
- Cardiovascular surgery
- Ophthalmic surgery
- Neurological surgery
The sutures are constructed from inert, nonabsorbable monofilament polypropylene, offering reliable permanence in tissue with minimal reaction. They are also pigmented blue to ensure high visibility against biological tissues.
Are Surgipro II sutures nonabsorbable?
Yes, the Medtronic Surgipro II SURGIPRO sutures are definitively nonabsorbable.
They are engineered to provide permanent tissue support and integrity, as they do not degrade or dissolve over time.
Key features related to their nonabsorbable nature include:
- Material Composition: The sutures are made from an inert, isotactic, crystalline stereoisomer of polypropylene (which also contains polyethylene), ensuring optimal compatibility in biological environments.
- Intended Use: Their permanence makes them highly reliable for demanding applications requiring long-term closure, particularly in cardiovascular, ophthalmic, and neurological surgery.
What are the available suture sizes?
The Medtronic Surgipro II sutures are offered in a comprehensive range of USP sizes, ensuring they are suitable for various general and specialized surgical procedures.
Available sizes include:
- Size 6-0
- Size 5-0
- Size 4-0
- Size 3-0
- Size 2-0
- Size 0
- Size 2
This versatility allows for use in general soft tissue approximation, as well as critical applications in cardiovascular, ophthalmic, and neurological surgery.
What suture lengths are offered?
The Medtronic Surgipro II sutures are available in several configurations to meet diverse surgical needs. The specific suture lengths offered are:
- 18 inches
- 30 inches
- 3x24 inches (This configuration typically contains three individual 24-inch strands.)
This variety ensures the right length is available for various applications, including demanding procedures in cardiovascular, ophthalmic, and neurological surgery.
What package quantities are offered?
The Medtronic Surgipro II sutures are available in several convenient packaging configurations to suit varying clinical demands. Each box contains one of the following quantities of sterile suture/needle units:
- 1 dozen (1 dz/bx)
- 2 dozen (2 dz/bx)
- 3 dozen (3 dz/bx)
Do these sutures use high-quality reverse cutting needles?
Yes, the Medtronic Surgipro II sutures are specifically designed as reverse cutting sutures, intended for secure and precise soft tissue approximation and ligation.
They are available in configurations featuring several high-quality needle types and curvatures to meet various surgical requirements, including applications in cardiovascular, ophthalmic, and neurological surgery.
Available needle specifications include:
- Needle Curvatures: 3/8 Circle and 1/2 Circle.
- Needle Types: C-12, C-13, C-14, C-15, C-16, GS-10, and GS-18.
Does the manufacturing process enhance handling?
Yes, the handling of SURGIPRO sutures is optimized by an advanced extrusion process applied to the polypropylene molecule. This process ensures several performance advantages critical for surgeons:
- Maximum Flexibility: Allows for easy manipulation and placement.
- Uniform Diameter: Provides consistent passage through tissue.
- Minimal Memory: Significantly reduces “pig-tailing.”
- Secure Knotting: Results in excellent security with knots that are snug, flattened, and consistently strong.
What surgical needle curvatures are available?
The Medtronic SURGIPRO II sutures are available with needles featuring two standard curvatures, designed to facilitate precise placement across various surgical approaches:
- 3/8 Circle
- ½ Circle
These curvatures are provided with specific reverse cutting needle types, including the C-series (C-12, C-13, C-14, C-15, C-16) and the GS-series (GS-10, GS-18), allowing surgeons to select the optimal configuration for general soft tissue approximation and ligation.
