Frequently asked questions
Does this suture offer smooth handling during surgery?
Yes. The suture features a highly adherent, nonreactive lubricant coating that acts as a mechanical lubricant. This significantly reduces friction, allowing for smoother passage through tissue and superior maneuverability compared to standard uncoated braided fibers.
Is the material durable enough for secure closure?
Absolutely. It is constructed from high molecular weight, long-chain linear polyesters. This specific composition provides excellent tensile strength and mechanical integrity, making it ideal for demanding surgical applications.
What is the benefit of the CT-2 taper point needle?
The stainless steel CT-2 taper point needle is engineered for consistent, reliable penetration. The 1/2 circle shape is specifically designed to facilitate precise tissue management during closure.
Does the coating cause tissue reactions?
No, the suture uses a nonreactive coating. This ensures that while it provides the necessary lubrication for smooth handling, it remains safe for clinical use without causing unnecessary tissue reactivity.
Is the suture ready for immediate clinical use?
Yes, this is a sterile medical device provided in a professional, clinical-grade packaging system, ensuring it is ready for use in sterile environments immediately upon opening.
How many strands are included in the package?
This product is supplied as a 12-strand configuration, ensuring you have an adequate supply for your surgical requirements.
Is the green color helpful during surgery?
Yes, the dyed green color is standard for this type of suture as it provides high visibility and contrast against tissue, assisting the surgeon in identifying the suture line clearly during the procedure.
What is the length of each suture strand?
Each strand in this package measures 18 inches in length, providing ample material for standard wound closure techniques.
Is the needle size appropriate for general use?
The 26 mm CT-2 needle is a versatile size choice, specifically engineered for consistent penetration and optimal control during a variety of wound closure procedures.
How should I store these sutures?
These are factory new, sterile units. To maintain their integrity, they should be stored in a cool, dry, and clean environment to preserve their sterile condition until they are needed for a procedure.
