Frequently asked questions
Does this suture offer superior knot security?
Yes. The Ethibond Excel features a precision-braided polyester construction, which is specifically engineered to provide excellent knot security and high physical durability during surgical procedures.
Is the material treated to reduce tissue drag?
Yes. The suture is treated with a highly adherent, nonreactive lubricant coating. This coating reduces mechanical friction, allowing the thread to glide smoothly through tissue with minimal resistance.
Is this suitable for high-tension surgical applications?
Absolutely. This nonabsorbable polyester suture is designed for procedures that require permanent, long-term tissue support and high-tension reliability.
What type of steel is used for the needle?
The OS-6 needle is constructed from high-grade stainless steel, ensuring strength, sharpness, and precision during tissue penetration.
Does the needle design help minimize tissue trauma?
Yes. The 1/2 circle reverse cutting design is specifically engineered to ensure secure closure while minimizing unnecessary tissue trauma during deep or general surgery.
How many strands come in a box?
Each box contains 36 individual strands of the sterile Ethibond Excel polyester suture.
Is this product designed for professional medical use?
Yes, this is a professional-grade medical device intended strictly for use in sterile surgical settings by qualified medical personnel.
What is the total length of each suture strand?
Each individual suture strand is 30 inches long, providing sufficient length for a wide variety of surgical closure techniques.
Why is the green color beneficial?
The green color is standard for this suture type to provide high visibility against bodily tissues, assisting the surgeon in maintaining clear sightlines during complex procedures.
Is the needle shape suitable for deep tissue work?
The 1/2 circle curvature of the OS-6 needle is specifically chosen to provide the reach and maneuverability required for effective control during deep tissue closure.
