Frequently asked questions
Does the needle offer superior tissue penetration?
Yes, this product features MultiPass needle technology. This design balances strength and precision, ensuring smooth and consistent tissue penetration during surgical procedures.
Is the suture material easy to see during use?
Absolutely. The monofilament nylon is dyed black, which provides high visibility against patient tissue to help surgeons maintain accuracy during placement.
Is the suture designed to minimize tissue reaction?
Yes, Ethilon is engineered to elicit minimal acute inflammatory response, which promotes effective healing and supports slow encapsulation.
What is the expected degradation timeline for this suture?
As a nonabsorbable material, it is designed for long-term wound support. The degradation process is extremely slow, typically lasting between 1 to 2 years.
Is the needle shape suitable for precise closure?
The suture comes with a 3/8 circle precision reverse cutting needle. This specific geometry is ideal for clinical procedures that require high control and precise wound edge approximation.
What is the total length of each suture strand?
Each individual suture strand in the pack is 18 inches long, providing sufficient length for a variety of general surgical and plastic surgery applications.
How many strands are included in one purchase?
Each unit includes a convenient 12-strand pack, with each strand featuring an integrated precision needle.
Is the needle material durable for surgical use?
The needles are crafted from high-quality stainless steel, chosen for its reliability, strength, and ability to maintain its sharpness during the suturing process.
Does the suture come pre-sterilized?
Yes, this is a factory new, sterile product. It is delivered in a sealed medical pouch to ensure it meets strict clinical environment safety standards.
Is this suture appropriate for plastic surgery applications?
Yes, the precision of the reverse cutting needle and the properties of the monofilament nylon make this an excellent choice for general surgery, plastics, and various delicate clinical procedures.
