Frequently asked questions
What high-quality material are Surgipro II sutures made from?
The Surgipro II sutures are constructed from an inert, nonabsorbable, monofilament material.
Specifically, they are composed of an isotactic, crystalline stereoisomer of polypropylene (containing polyethylene). This advanced material composition provides several key benefits:
- Reliability: The inert material ensures reliable, long-term soft tissue approximation and ligation.
- Optimal Handling: An advanced extrusion process delivers a uniform diameter and ** maximum flexibility**, which significantly minimizes memory and “pig-tailing.”
- Enhanced Visibility: The suture is pigmented blue to facilitate easy visualization and confirmation during surgical procedures.
What are the key surgical applications for these sutures?
These Surgipro sutures are indicated for general soft tissue approximation and ligation. Their advanced design makes them suitable for use in several specialty areas, including:
- Cardiovascular surgery
- Ophthalmic surgery
- Neurological surgery
Are the Medtronic Surgipro II sutures absorbable?
No, the Medtronic Surgipro II sutures are nonabsorbable.
Is the suture length 18 inches?
Yes, this specific configuration of the Medtronic Surgipro II suture is 18 inches long.
It is a Size 5-0, nonabsorbable monofilament polypropylene suture attached to a C-12 needle. The material is pigmented blue to ensure enhanced visibility during surgical procedures.
What is the attached needle designation?
The Surgipro II suture is attached to a C-12 needle.
How many sutures are included per case?
The Surgipro sutures are packaged in cases containing 1 dozen (12 individual sutures) each.
What enhances suture visibility during surgery?
The Surgipro sutures are uniformly pigmented blue. This specific coloring is designed to significantly enhance visibility within the surgical field, aiding the surgeon during procedures like general soft tissue approximation, ligation, and specialized cardiovascular, ophthalmic, and neurological surgeries.
Does the extrusion process improve suture handling?
Yes, the advanced molecular extrusion process significantly enhances the physical characteristics and handling of the SURGIPRO II sutures. This manufacturing process results in critical performance benefits:
- Maximum Flexibility: Provides the strand with superior maneuverability during procedures.
- Uniform Diameter: Ensures consistency and smooth passage through tissue.
- Minimal Memory: This feature actively reduces unwanted coiling or “pig-tailing,” making the suture easier to handle and place accurately.
- Reliable Knot Performance: Delivers excellent security with snug, flattened knots and consistent knotting strength.
Do these sutures offer superior knot security?
Yes, Medtronic Surgipro II sutures provide superior knot security with snug and flattened knots, ensuring reliable performance during surgical procedures. Their advanced extrusion process also guarantees consistent knotting strength.
Are these sutures sterile?
Yes, Medtronic Surgipro II sutures are sterile and designed for safe use in surgical procedures.
