Frequently asked questions
Does the braided design help with handling?
Yes, the braided structure is specifically engineered to provide superior control. When combined with the specialized lubricant coating, it ensures smooth passage through tissue and significantly reduces drag, making it a reliable choice for surgical environments.
Is the material consistent for long-term wound support?
Absolutely. The suture is composed of high-quality dyed synthetic polyester, which is known for its excellent tensile strength and long-term consistency. This material provides the reliable, high-strength wound support required for demanding surgical procedures.
Does the needle type minimize tissue trauma?
Yes, it features a 36 mm stainless steel taper point needle. The 1/2 circle geometry is designed for effective penetration while maintaining precision, helping to minimize trauma to the tissue during the suturing process.
Is the suture coating non-reactive?
Yes, the Ethibond Excel is treated with a specialized, nonreactive lubricant coating. This coating is critical for enhancing handling characteristics and ensuring that the material remains gentle on the surrounding tissue during placement.
What is the specific length of the suture?
Each strand of this suture provides a length of 30 inches (75 cm), offering sufficient material for standard surgical wound management tasks.
Is this product suitable for general surgery?
It is a staple in many surgical supply kits. Its design is ideal for general surgical procedures that require a nonabsorbable, high-strength braided material for dependable wound closure.
Are the needles made of durable material?
The needles are constructed from high-grade stainless steel. This material selection ensures that the needle maintains its shape and sharpness throughout the procedure for consistent performance.
How many strands come in each pack?
This product is supplied as a 36-strand suture pack, providing a generous quantity for clinical environments and routine hospital usage.
Is the suture easily visible during procedures?
Yes, the material is dyed green. This color contrast makes it easier for surgeons and medical staff to identify and track the suture during intricate surgical applications.
Does the product arrive in sterile packaging?
Yes, the product is sterile. Each individual suture and needle is contained within a transparent, sterile peel-pack to maintain clinical safety and integrity until the moment of use.
