Description

Medtronic/Minimally Invasive Therapies Group Suture, Taper Point, Size 2, Blue, 60", Needle GS-26, ½ Circle, 2 dz/bx . SURGIPRO sutures (clear or pigmented) are inert, nonabsorbable, sterile sutures composed of an isotactic, crystalline stereoisomer of polypropylene and contain polyethylene. The suture is pigmented blue to enhance visibility. The advanced extrusion process of the polypropylene molecule gives the suture: Uniform diameter; Maximum flexibility of the strand; Excellent security with snug and flattened knots; Minimal memory and reduced "pig-tailing"; Consistent knotting strength. Indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, including use in cardiovascular, ophthalmic and neurological surgery.

Frequently asked questions

What types of surgeries are these sutures indicated for?

The Medtronic Surgipro II sutures are specifically designed for general soft tissue approximation and ligation, and are suitable for use in cardiovascular, ophthalmic, and neurological surgeries.

What high-quality monofilament material is used?

These Surgipro II sutures are constructed from an inert, nonabsorbable monofilament material.

They are composed of an isotactic, crystalline stereoisomer of polypropylene, which also contains polyethylene. This advanced formulation is blue-pigmented for high visibility during procedures and offers:

  • Maximum Flexibility: Achieved through an advanced extrusion process creating a uniform diameter.
  • Optimized Knot Security: Designed for consistent knotting strength, minimal memory, and snug, flattened knots.
Are these sutures non-absorbable for lasting support?

Yes, Medtronic Surgipro II sutures are nonabsorbable and designed for lasting support. They are composed of polypropylene and polyethylene, making them suitable for long-term soft tissue approximation and ligation in various surgical procedures.

How many sutures are included in one box?

Each box contains 2 dozen (24 individual) sutures.

What size are these sutures, and what type of needle is included?

The suture size is 2. The needle is a GS-26, ½ Circle, Taper Point.

Does the blue color enhance suture visibility?

Yes, Medtronic Surgipro II sutures are pigmented blue specifically to enhance visibility during surgical procedures. This allows surgeons to more easily track and manipulate the suture, contributing to greater precision.

What is the length of each suture?

The Surgipro II sutures have a suture length of 60 inches.

What are the benefits of the advanced extrusion process used in manufacturing these sutures?

The advanced extrusion process ensures the suture has a uniform diameter, maximum flexibility, minimal memory, and consistent knotting strength.

Do these sutures ensure sterility?

Yes, Medtronic Surgipro II sutures are sterile and designed for safe surgical use. They are factory new and packaged to maintain sterility for soft tissue approximation and ligation procedures.

Do these sutures have minimal memory?

These SURGIPRO sutures are designed with minimal memory, which significantly reduces the “pig-tailing” effect. This feature ensures easier handling and allows for more precise placement during surgical procedures.
