Description

Medtronic Vascufil Monofilament Polybutester Sutures. Composed of polybutester, a copolymer of butylene terephthalate and poly-teramethylene ether glycol. Coated with Polytribolate, an absorbable polymer of ecaprolactone/glycolide/poloxamer 188. The unique properties of these sutures are conferred by the composition and structure of the polybutester fiber which give the suture minimal memory, less tissue dray and smooth know run-down, fray resistance and easy handing.

Frequently asked questions

What gives these Vascufil sutures smooth handling?

The superior handling of Vascufil sutures results from its specialized, dual-component construction, which is engineered to optimize surgical performance and minimize tissue trauma:

  • Polybutester Core: The primary material provides the suture with crucial features like minimal memory and inherent fray resistance, making manipulation during procedures easier.
  • Polytribolate Coating: The thread is coated with this absorbable polymer blend. The coating is essential for reducing friction, ensuring less tissue drag (smooth passage through tissue) and facilitating smooth knot run-down for precise and secure placement.
What suture sizes are available?

The Medtronic Vascufil Monofilament Polybutester Sutures are offered in a comprehensive range of surgical sizes, catering to diverse procedural requirements.

The available sizes include:

  • 7-0
  • 6-0
  • 5-0
  • 4-0
  • 3-0
  • 2-0

This range ensures suitability for delicate procedures requiring fine gauge thread.

Does the suture offer specialized needle options?

Yes, Medtronic Vascufil Monofilament Sutures are configured with specialized needle options suitable for diverse surgical applications, such as vascular or general surgery. The available configurations are:

  • Needle Tip/Point: Taper Point and Tapercutting
  • Needle Curvature: ½ Circle and 3/8 Circle

Specific variants are also identified by individual needle codes (e.g., CV-23) that define the exact geometry and size for targeted penetration.

What suture lengths are available?

The Medtronic Vascufil Monofilament Polybutester Sutures are offered in a variety of lengths to suit diverse surgical requirements.

Standard single-strand lengths available across various configurations include:

  • 18 inches
  • 24 inches
  • 30 inches
  • 36 inches

Specific packaging configurations also offer multiple strands per unit, such as 2x24 inches, 4x24 inches, and 4x30 inches.

What are the available package sizes?

These sutures are generally sold in two standard package sizes, allowing you to choose the quantity that best suits your needs:

  • 1 dozen per box (1 dz/bx)
  • 3 dozen per box (3 dz/bx)
Does the Polytribolate coating enhance suture handling?

Yes, the Vascufil sutures are coated with Polytribolate, an absorbable polymer blend, specifically to optimize surgical performance and ease of use. This specialized coating works with the polybutester fiber to provide several key benefits during procedures:

  • Easy Handling: Contributes to overall smooth manipulation and ease of use.
  • Reduced Tissue Drag: Facilitates smoother, effortless passage through tissue by minimizing friction.
  • Smooth Knot Run-Down: Ensures precise and controlled setting of knots.
  • Fray Resistance: Promotes reliable performance by increasing resistance to fraying.
What does 'minimal memory' mean in the context of these sutures?

Minimal memory means the polybutester fiber construction minimizes the suture’s tendency to return to its original shape. This contributes to ease of handling and precise placement during surgical procedures.

Do Vascufil sutures offer superior handling?

Yes, Medtronic Vascufil Monofilament Polybutester Sutures are specifically designed for enhanced handling and optimal performance during surgical procedures. This capability stems from their monofilament polybutester construction and specialized Polytribolate coating.

Key features that ensure smooth handling and performance include:

  • Minimal Memory: The suture material resists kinking and coiling, making it easier to manage and manipulate.
  • Reduced Tissue Drag: The smooth structure and absorbable polymer coating ensure controlled, friction-free passage through tissue.
  • Smooth Knot Run-down: Facilitates reliable, secure, and efficient execution of knots.
  • High Fray Resistance: Helps maintain the structural integrity and durability of the suture throughout the procedure.
Are specialized needle types and curvatures offered?

Yes, these sutures are available with specialized needle configurations to accommodate diverse surgical requirements, including precise tissue penetration and knot tying:

  • Needle Types: Shoppers can choose between Taper Point and Tapercutting styles.
  • Curvatures: The sutures are offered in standard surgical curvatures, including ½ Circle and 3/8 Circle.
Are Vascufil polybutester sutures absorbable?

While the suture includes an absorbable coating, the Vascufil polybutester core is intended to be non-absorbable, providing permanent support for the tissue.

Here is a breakdown of the material components:

  • Core Material: The polybutester core (a durable copolymer) is non-absorbable and provides reliable long-term tensile strength.
  • Coating: The suture is coated with Polytribolate, an absorbable polymer (ecaprolactone/glycolide/poloxamer 188). This coating is engineered to ensure smooth passage through tissue, minimize drag, and enhance overall handling during surgical procedures.
