Medtronic Surgipro Ii - Surgipro Monofilament Polypropylene Size 3-0 Taper Point Sutures

Yes, Medtronic Surgipro II sutures are constructed from a specialized, high-quality form of polypropylene engineered for reliable surgical performance and inertness in tissue environments. This material is nonabsorbable, providing permanent wound support.

The suture material is an inert, nonabsorbable isotactic, crystalline stereoisomer of polypropylene blended with polyethylene. This premium construction offers several key benefits:

• Enhanced Handling: An advanced extrusion process ensures a uniform diameter, maximum flexibility, and minimal memory, which effectively reduces “pig-tailing.”
• Superior Knot Security: The sutures are designed for consistent knotting strength and offer excellent security by forming snug and flattened knots.
• High Visibility: The monofilament strand is pigmented blue to significantly enhance contrast and visualization within the surgical field.

These characteristics make the sutures suitable for demanding procedures, including those in cardiovascular, ophthalmic, and neurological surgery.

No, Surgipro II sutures are nonabsorbable monofilament sutures.

Yes, the Medtronic Surgipro II SURGIPRO sutures are intentionally pigmented blue to optimize visibility within the surgical field.

This blue coloration is crucial because it ensures the inert, nonabsorbable polypropylene monofilament strand is easily distinguishable against soft tissue, providing enhanced visualization and improved precision during general soft tissue approximation and ligation procedures.

Yes, the Medtronic Surgipro II sutures are designed with a Taper Point needle configuration. This type of needle is highly effective for general soft tissue approximation and ligation, allowing for efficient penetration while minimizing tissue trauma.

The specific needle details are dependent on the chosen product configuration, with options available for diverse surgical needs:

• Needle Curvatures: Configurations include both ½ Circle and 3/8 Circle.
• Needle Codes: Various specific codes are offered, such as V-20, GS-21, CV-23, CV-15, VF-20, and V-26.
• Specialized Components: Some configurations may also include a Firm PTFE Pledget for buttressing, which is particularly useful in complex procedures like cardiovascular surgery.

The Medtronic Surgipro II sutures are available in four standard lengths, which vary depending on the specific configuration and needle attachment chosen. This variety ensures suitability for diverse surgical needs.

Available lengths are:

• 30 inches
• 36 inches
• 48 inches
• 54 inches

These nonabsorbable sutures are manufactured with an advanced extrusion process, ensuring high material quality, including maximum flexibility and minimal memory, across all available lengths.

Yes, these Medtronic Surgipro II sutures are supplied Factory New and are guaranteed to be sterile for critical surgical use.

These high-quality monofilament sutures offer reliable performance through key features:

• Nonabsorbable and Inert: Constructed from an isotactic, crystalline stereoisomer of polypropylene, they provide permanent tissue support with minimal reaction.
• Enhanced Visibility: The suture strand is pigmented blue to maximize visualization in the operating field.
• Superior Handling: An advanced extrusion process ensures uniform diameter, maximum flexibility, and minimal memory (reducing “pig-tailing”).
• Excellent Knot Security: They are specifically designed to form snug and flattened knots with consistent knotting strength, ideal for procedures in cardiovascular, ophthalmic, and neurological surgery.

The Medtronic Surgipro II sutures are packaged in standardized quantities for surgical use. Each box contains 3 dozen (3 dz) sterile, nonabsorbable sutures, which totals 36 units per box.

Yes, the Medtronic Surgipro II sutures offer highly versatile configurations to suit specialized surgical needs while maintaining the core nonabsorbable, monofilament polypropylene material that is pigmented blue for excellent visibility.

Key configuration options include:

• Suture Lengths: Available in four standard sizes: 30”, 36”, 48”, and 54”.
• Needle Curvature: Needles are available in both ½ Circle and 3/8 Circle shapes, all featuring a Taper Point profile.
• Specific Needles: A broad range of needle types are available (e.g., V-20, GS-21, CV-23, VF-20, V-26) to match the requirements of procedures like cardiovascular, ophthalmic, and neurological surgery.
• Additional Components: Select variants may also include a Firm PTFE Pledget for added support during tissue approximation.

Yes, the Medtronic Surgipro II Monofilament Polypropylene Sutures are specifically engineered for superior knot security and reliable, permanent performance.

Key features contributing to their excellent knotting performance include:

• Snug and Flattened Knots: The advanced material and construction allow for the creation of secure, flattened knots that minimize slippage.
• Consistent Knotting Strength: Manufactured via an advanced extrusion process, the sutures offer consistent strength throughout the knotting procedure.
• Optimal Handling: Features like minimal memory (which reduces “pig-tailing”), uniform diameter, and maximum flexibility aid the surgeon in achieving accurate and secure knot placement.
• Permanent Support: As they are nonabsorbable and composed of an inert polypropylene stereoisomer, they ensure lasting tissue approximation and stability.
