Frequently asked questions
What high-quality material are these sutures made from?
These Surgipro II sutures are constructed from an inert, nonabsorbable monofilament polypropylene.
Specifically, the material is an isotactic, crystalline stereoisomer of polypropylene (also containing polyethylene). This combination and the advanced extrusion process used by Medtronic ensure superior performance:
- Long-Term Support: The nonabsorbable material provides lasting mechanical support for general soft tissue approximation and ligation.
- Enhanced Visibility: The suture is pigmented blue to significantly improve contrast and visibility during surgical procedures.
- Optimal Handling: The advanced manufacturing yields a uniform diameter and maximum flexibility, resulting in minimal memory and reduced ‘pig-tailing.’
- Excellent Knot Security: The material facilitates consistent knotting strength, allowing for secure, snug, and flattened knots.
Are these Surgipro II sutures nonabsorbable for permanent support?
Yes, the Medtronic Surgipro II sutures are nonabsorbable, providing permanent wound support and long-term tissue approximation and ligation.Their inert material composition ensures this permanent performance:<ul><li>Material: Constructed from an inert isotactic, crystalline stereoisomer of polypropylene (also containing polyethylene).</li><li>Indication: Suitable for use in general soft tissue approximation, including specialized areas like cardiovascular, ophthalmic, and neurological surgery.</li><li>Visibility: The suture is pigmented blue, which significantly enhances visibility during surgical procedures.</li></ul>
What is the purpose of the blue pigment in Surgipro II sutures?
The blue pigment in Surgipro II sutures is added to enhance visibility during surgical procedures, making them easier to see against the tissue.
What needle shapes and lengths are offered?
The Medtronic Surgipro II sutures feature a consistent Taper Point needle geometry, designed for smooth passage through soft tissue during approximation and ligation procedures. The sutures are available in a variety of configurations based on curvature and length:
- Needle Shapes/Curvatures: Needles are offered in Straight, 3/8 Circle (e.g., CV-13), and ½ Circle (e.g., V-20, GS-22, VF-20).
- Suture Lengths: You can choose from standard lengths of 30”, 36”, or 48”.
- A specialty option of 5x18” (five individual 18-inch strands) is also available.
What suture size are these Surgipro II sutures?
These Surgipro II sutures are size 2-0.
What are the primary surgical applications?
The Medtronic Surgipro II sutures are primarily indicated for general soft tissue approximation and ligation.
These high-performance, nonabsorbable monofilament sutures are also specifically approved for use in critical and sensitive surgical fields, including:
- Cardiovascular surgery
- Ophthalmic surgery
- Neurological surgery
The blue pigmentation is a key benefit, providing enhanced visibility during these complex procedures.
What suture lengths are available?
The Medtronic Surgipro II monofilament polypropylene sutures are offered in several standard lengths to accommodate different surgical needs. The available options are:
- 30 inches (30”)
- 36 inches (36”)
- 48 inches (48”)
- 5 x 18 inches (5x18”)
Are various suture lengths and needle shapes available?
Yes, Medtronic Surgipro II sutures (Size 2-0, Monofilament Polypropylene) are available in multiple configurations to suit various surgical needs. All configurations utilize a Taper Point needle tip designed for effective soft tissue approximation.
These sutures are offered in the following lengths and needle curvatures:
Available Suture Lengths
- 30 inches
- 36 inches
- 48 inches
- 5 x 18 inches
Needle Curvatures (Shapes)
The Taper Point needle is provided in several curvatures:
- ½ Circle: Common configurations include V-20, GS-22, GS-24, and VF-20.
- 3/8 Circle: Offered with the CV-13 needle.
- Straight: Available with the ST-1 needle.
These sutures are typically supplied in boxes containing either 1 dozen or 3 dozen units.
Is knot security excellent?
Yes, the Medtronic Surgipro II sutures are specifically engineered for excellent knot security and exceptional handling during surgical procedures.
Key features that contribute to reliable knotting and handling include:
- Snug and Flattened Knots: They are designed to achieve knots that can be tied snugly and lie flat, ensuring maximum security after placement.
- Consistent Strength: The advanced manufacturing process ensures consistent knotting strength.
- Maximal Flexibility: The unique extrusion process yields a uniform diameter and provides the strand with maximum flexibility for smooth placement.
- Reduced Pigtailing: The material has minimal memory, which significantly reduces the tendency for ‘pig-tailing’ and simplifies strand management.
Do these sutures have maximum flexibility?
Yes, the Medtronic Surgipro II sutures are specifically engineered to provide maximum strand flexibility.
This high degree of flexibility is achieved through an advanced extrusion process used in manufacturing the polypropylene material, ensuring superior handling and performance:
- Uniform Diameter: Guarantees consistent performance throughout the entire strand.
- Excellent Handling: Offers minimal memory and reduced ‘pig-tailing,’ making placement easier.
- Consistent Knot Security: Designed to achieve snug, flattened knots with reliable strength, indicated for general soft tissue approximation and ligation.
