Frequently asked questions
Why is this monofilament suture good for tissue closure?
Dermalon monofilament nylon is highly regarded for its high elasticity, which helps maintain consistent tension after implantation. Additionally, it is chemically inert, meaning it triggers a minimal inflammatory response within the body to promote better healing.
Is this suture easy to see during surgery?
Yes, it is designed for excellent visibility. The suture is composed of dyed blue monofilament nylon, which helps the clinician clearly track the strand against tissue during surgical procedures.
What type of needle is included with these?
Each suture is paired with a P-12 3/8 circle precision reverse cutting needle. This specific needle type is engineered for controlled, accurate tissue penetration, making it ideal for procedures that require clean cutting and secure closure.
Are these sutures sterile?
Yes, these Dermalon sutures are sterile and arrive in factory-new condition, ensuring they are ready for immediate use in clinical environments.
Are these considered absorbable or nonabsorbable?
These are nonabsorbable sutures. They are specifically indicated for procedures where the material is intended to remain inert within the body for general soft tissue support.
Can I use these for soft tissue approximation?
Absolutely. These sutures are specifically designed and indicated for general soft tissue approximation and ligation where long-term, high-elasticity tension support is required.
What is the specific material used for these?
They are constructed from long-chain aliphatic polymers (Nylon 6.6). This composition provides the necessary strength, durability, and nonabsorbable properties required for reliable soft tissue approximation and ligation.
Is this suture coated or uncoated?
This specific model is uncoated, ensuring a smooth passage through tissues while maintaining the reliable handling characteristics of monofilament nylon.
What length are these suture strands?
Each strand is 18 inches long, providing ample length for standard soft tissue approximation and ligation procedures.
How many sutures are in a box?
Each box contains 12 individual strands, providing a consistent supply for your surgical requirements.
