Medtronic Surgipro Ii - Surgipro Monofilament Polypropylene Straight Cutting Sutures

Yes, the Surgipro II sutures are manufactured to be highly stable and biologically inert.

• Material Composition: They are nonabsorbable and composed primarily of an inert, crystalline stereoisomer of polypropylene, ensuring excellent biocompatibility.
• Intended Use: This high stability minimizes adverse tissue reactions and makes the material suitable for permanent tissue approximation and ligation, maintaining long-term strength.

Additional performance characteristics that benefit the surgeon include:

• Enhanced Visibility: The suture is pigmented blue to significantly improve tracking and visibility during procedures.
• Superior Knot Security: Engineered to facilitate snug, flattened knots with consistent strength.
• Advanced Handling: An advanced extrusion process results in uniform diameter, maximum flexibility, and minimal memory, which actively reduces undesirable ‘pig-tailing’.

Yes, SURGIPRO II sutures are engineered to provide permanent tissue support because they are nonabsorbable and chemically inert.

They are ideal for long-term tissue approximation and ligation due to several key features:

• Inert Composition: They are constructed from an inert, nonabsorbable isotactic, crystalline stereoisomer of polypropylene, ensuring long-term stability and biocompatibility.
• Superior Knot Security: The material provides excellent security with snug and flattened knots and consistent knotting strength.
• Advanced Handling: The advanced manufacturing process yields maximum flexibility and minimal memory, which actively reduces undesirable ‘pig-tailing’ during placement.
• Specialized Indication: They are specifically indicated for applications requiring durable closure, including procedures in cardiovascular, ophthalmic, and neurological surgery.

Yes, the SURGIPRO II sutures are engineered to be highly inert and nonabsorbable, providing permanent tissue support with minimal reaction.

• Inert Composition: The sutures are constructed from an isotactic, crystalline stereoisomer of polypropylene and polyethylene. This composition ensures excellent biocompatibility.
• Permanent Support: Being nonabsorbable, they are ideal for applications requiring permanent tissue approximation or ligation.
• Key Indications: Their durable and inert nature makes them suitable for general soft tissue use, specifically including complex procedures in cardiovascular, ophthalmic, and neurological surgery.

Yes, the Medtronic Surgipro II sutures are engineered for reliable closure, providing superior knot security complemented by excellent handling characteristics. The inert polypropylene material and advanced manufacturing process are key to this performance.

Key features supporting superior knot performance include:

• Excellent Knot Security: The material and design ensure reliable, durable closure with consistent knotting strength.
• Snug and Flattened Knots: The suture easily forms secure, snug, and flattened knots.
• Optimal Handling: An advanced extrusion process provides maximum flexibility and minimal memory, which actively reduces undesirable ‘pig-tailing’ for easier manipulation and placement.
• Uniformity: The strand maintains a uniform diameter across its entire length.

These characteristics make the Surgipro II ideal for general soft tissue approximation and specialized procedures, including cardiovascular, ophthalmic, and neurological surgery.

Yes, Medtronic Surgipro II sutures are designed for superior performance, focusing on reliable handling and consistent knot security. Their specialized construction provides several key advantages:

• Superior Knot Security: These sutures deliver excellent security, facilitating knots that are both snug and flattened while maintaining consistent knotting strength.
• Optimized Handling: An advanced extrusion process ensures maximum flexibility and minimal memory. This critically reduces undesirable ‘pig-tailing’ and improves the ease of use during placement.
• Enhanced Visibility: The nonabsorbable, monofilament polypropylene material is pigmented blue to significantly enhance visibility against soft tissue, further aiding secure knotting.

Overall, the design yields a uniform diameter and maximum flexibility, contributing to predictable and stable knot performance.

The Surgipro II sutures are indicated primarily for general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation. They are specifically engineered for use in demanding surgical environments, including specialized applications in:

• Cardiovascular surgery
• Ophthalmic surgery
• Neurological surgery

The polypropylene monofilament is inert and nonabsorbable, ensuring long-term biocompatibility and integrity. Additionally, the blue pigmentation provides enhanced visibility for the surgeon during complex, delicate procedures.

Yes, Medtronic Surgipro II sutures are designed with enhanced visibility as a key selling point to assist surgeons during procedures.

• Pigmentation: The polypropylene material is specifically pigmented blue to create high contrast, significantly improving handling and visibility against soft tissue backgrounds.
• Benefit: This feature aids in quickly identifying the suture line, ensuring precise placement, and achieving superior knot security, especially in intricate surgeries like cardiovascular, ophthalmic, and neurological applications.

Yes, each suture includes an attached Straight Cutting (SC-2) needle. This type of needle is designed with a triangular cross-section and cutting edges optimized for sharp tissue penetration, ensuring precise and efficient deployment during various surgical procedures.

Yes, the Medtronic SURGIPRO II sutures are consistently manufactured with a standardized length of 30 inches (30”). This length is designed to provide reliable handling and ample material for various surgical procedures.

These sutures are produced using an advanced extrusion process to ensure premium quality, which includes:

• Uniform Diameter: For predictable and consistent tissue passage.
• Maximum Flexibility: Features minimal memory, which helps to actively reduce undesirable ‘pig-tailing’.
• Superior Knot Security: Engineered to facilitate snug, flattened knots with consistent strength.
• Enhanced Visibility: The polypropylene suture is pigmented blue to maximize contrast in the surgical field.

The Medtronic Surgipro II sutures are offered in two convenient package quantities, allowing you to select the volume that best suits your procedural needs:

• 3 dozen per box (3 dz/bx)
• 2 dozen per box (2 dz/bx)

Each package contains sterile, individually wrapped monofilament sutures, which are composed of inert, nonabsorbable polypropylene and attached to a straight cutting (SC-2) needle.
