Frequently asked questions
Is the Surgipro II material high-quality?
Yes, the SURGIPRO™ suture is designed for high performance in critical surgical applications, constructed from premium, specialized material for reliable long-term tissue support.
Key features and material specifications include:
- Material Composition: It is an inert, nonabsorbable monofilament composed of an isotactic, crystalline stereoisomer of polypropylene. This composition ensures reliable, permanent tissue approximation and ligation.
- Advanced Handling: An advanced extrusion process results in a uniform diameter and maximum flexibility. This design minimizes memory and reduces “pig-tailing,” aiding precision during placement.
- Knot Security: The material provides excellent security with the ability to form snug and flattened knots, offering consistent knotting strength for reliable surgical outcomes.
- Enhanced Visibility: The suture is pigmented blue to maximize contrast and visibility within the operative field.
Are Surgipro II sutures absorbable?
No, Surgipro II sutures are nonabsorbable monofilament sutures.
Does the blue color enhance visibility?
Yes, the Surgipro II sutures are pigmented blue specifically to significantly enhance visibility against tissues during surgical use. This feature helps surgeons track the monofilament material throughout the procedure.
Are Surgipro II sutures suitable for specialized surgery?
Yes, Medtronic Surgipro II sutures are designed for general soft tissue approximation and ligation, specifically indicated for use in critical and specialized surgical fields, including:
- Cardiovascular surgery
- Ophthalmic surgery
- Neurological surgery
The monofilament structure and advanced manufacturing process offer benefits crucial for these procedures:
- Inert and Nonabsorbable: Made from inert polypropylene, these sutures ensure reliable, permanent tissue support.
- Enhanced Visibility: They are pigmented blue to maximize contrast and tracking within the operative field.
- Superior Handling: The advanced extrusion process ensures uniform diameter, maximum flexibility, and minimal memory, resulting in reliable knotting strength and the ability to form snug, flattened, and secure knots.
What size are the Surgipro II sutures?
These Surgipro II sutures adhere to the USP Size 8-0 specification.
Is a Taper Point needle used?
Yes, these Medtronic Surgipro II sutures are equipped with a Taper Point needle. This configuration also utilizes a standard 3/8 Circle needle curvature.
Is the needle curvature 3/8 circle?
Yes, the needle for these Surgipro II sutures is specified to have a 3/8 Circle curvature. It is attached to a Taper Point needle type.
Are different box quantities available?
Yes, the Medtronic Surgipro II sutures are offered in multiple packaging configurations to accommodate different procedural volumes.The available packaging quantities are:
- 1 dozen (1 dz/bx) sutures per box.
- 3 dozen (3 dz/bx) sutures per box.
The specific quantity is noted in the configuration details of the variant you select.
Does the advanced process improve suture handling?
Yes, the advanced extrusion process used to manufacture Surgipro II sutures is specifically designed to enhance handling and surgical performance.
Key benefits derived from this manufacturing technique include:
- Uniform Diameter: Ensures a consistent strand size throughout the entire length, facilitating predictable tissue passage.
- Maximum Flexibility and Minimal Memory: This drastically reduces the tendency for “pig-tailing” (unwanted curling), making the suture easier to manage and position in the operative field.
- Superior Knot Security: The geometry promotes the formation of snug, flattened knots that maintain consistent strength for reliable tissue approximation.
What are the core specifications of the suture?
These Surgipro II sutures feature highly consistent specifications across all variants, making them ideal for specialized surgical fields:
- Material: Constructed from an inert, nonabsorbable Polypropylene monofilament, providing reliable, long-term tissue support.
- Size: All available configurations are manufactured in Size 8-0.
- Visibility: The strand is pigmented blue to maximize visibility and aid in precise placement during procedures.
- Needle Configuration: Features a precise Taper Point needle with a 3/8 Circle curvature, optimized for atraumatic passage through soft tissue.
Furthermore, an advanced extrusion process ensures a uniform diameter, maximum flexibility, and superior knot security with consistently snug and flattened knots.
