Frequently asked questions
Does this suture provide long-term tissue support?
Yes, it is constructed from high molecular weight, long-chain linear polyesters, which are specifically designed to offer reliable, permanent tissue approximation.
Is the suture easy to handle during surgery?
Yes, it features a specialized nonreactive coating that acts as a lubricant. This allows the braided material to glide smoothly through tissue, significantly improving handling compared to uncoated fibers.
Why use a taper point needle?
The taper point needle (MO-6) features a smooth, rounded tip that pierces tissue rather than cutting it. This geometry is designed to minimize tissue trauma during the suturing process.
Is this suture safe for use in sterile environments?
Yes, all Ethibond Excel sutures are provided in a sterile condition, ready for use in clinical and surgical settings.
Is the material of this suture absorbent?
No, this is a nonabsorbable suture. It is made from braided polyester, meaning it will maintain its structural integrity and remain in the tissue until it is manually removed or intended to remain permanently.
How strong is the knot security?
The braided construction of the polyester fibers is engineered to provide exceptional strength and superior knot security compared to monofilament alternatives.
Can this needle be used in deep surgical fields?
The included 1/2 circle 26 mm needle is specifically designed for optimal maneuverability, making it well-suited for use in deep or restricted surgical fields.
Is the suture material dyed for visibility?
Yes, this suture is green, which provides high visibility against tissue during surgical procedures.
What is the diameter size of this suture?
This specific item is Size 0, which corresponds to the standard surgical thickness requirement for secure closure.
Are these factory new products?
Yes, we supply only factory new Ethibond Excel sutures, ensuring they meet the high quality standards of J & J Healthcare Systems.
