Description

  • Taper Point Needle
  • Ethibond excel is a nonabsorbable braided polyester suture composed of high molecular weight and long chain, linear polyesters
  • The suture is braided for optimal handling properties
  • The highly adherent coating is a relatively nonreactive nonabsorbable compound which acts as a lubricant to mechanically improve the physical properties by improving handling qualities as contrasted to the braided, uncoated fiber

Frequently asked questions

Does the braided design help with knot security?
<p>Yes. The <strong>braided structure</strong> is specifically engineered to provide superior knot security, ensuring that the suture remains firmly in place once tied.</p>
Is the material easy to pass through tissue?
<p>Absolutely. The suture is treated with a <strong>highly adherent, nonreactive lubricant coating</strong>. This coating significantly reduces friction, allowing for a smooth passage through tissue compared to traditional uncoated braided fibers.</p>
What is the primary benefit of the polyester material?
<p>The suture is composed of <strong>high-molecular-weight, long-chain linear polyesters</strong>. This provides consistent, permanent support and high tensile strength, making it ideal for procedures where nonabsorbable material is required.</p>
Does the taper point needle offer precise control?
<p>Yes. The <strong>CT-1 1/2 circle taper point needle</strong> is designed to provide excellent penetration control, making it highly effective for various soft tissue surgical procedures.</p>
How durable is the needle construction?
<p>The needle is manufactured from <strong>high-grade stainless steel</strong>, ensuring durability and consistent performance during complex surgical tasks.</p>
Is this suture suitable for procedures requiring permanent support?
<p>Yes, Ethibond Excel is a <strong>nonabsorbable</strong> suture. Its material integrity is maintained over time, which is specifically suited for surgeries where long-term, permanent support of the tissue is necessary.</p>
How many suture strands are in a pack?
<p>Each unit includes <strong>1 dozen (12) sterile suture packs</strong>, providing a reliable supply for clinical and surgical environments.</p>
Is the suture highly visible during surgery?
<p>Yes, this specific configuration is dyed <strong>green</strong>, which provides high visibility against surgical fields to assist surgeons during precise wound approximation.</p>
