Frequently asked questions
Does this suture offer minimal tissue reaction?
Yes. The Ethilon nylon suture is specifically engineered to elicit a minimal acute inflammatory response. This design helps support a more stable and favorable healing environment for the patient.
Is the suture highly visible during surgery?
Absolutely. The suture is dyed black to provide excellent contrast against surrounding tissue. This ensures that surgeons can easily track and identify the suture line during complex surgical procedures.
Is this a long-term support suture?
Yes, this is a nonabsorbable monofilament suture. It features an extremely slow degradation/encapsulation profile of 1 to 2 years, making it an ideal choice for applications requiring extended tissue support.
Does the needle provide precise control?
The PC-1 needle is a precision conventional cutting needle. Its 3/8 circle curvature and stainless steel construction are specifically designed to offer:
- Controlled tissue penetration
- Superior maneuverability
- Consistent incision control
What is the material composition of this suture?
This product is a monofilament nylon suture crafted from a high-quality long-chain polymer. It is intentionally uncoated to maintain its structural integrity and performance characteristics.
What does the PC-1 needle designation mean?
The PC-1 designation identifies the specific geometry of the needle. In this case, it indicates a precision conventional cutting tip paired with a 13 mm length and a 3/8 circle curvature, optimized for delicate surgical tasks.
Is the suture durable?
Yes. Being a monofilament construction, the suture offers consistent performance and reliability. Its nonabsorbable nature ensures that it maintains its tensile strength over a long period, providing secure closure.
How many sutures are included in a pack?
Each pack contains 12 individual strands, with one sterile needle attached to each strand, providing sufficient supply for planned procedures.
Is the suture sterile for medical use?
Yes, this product is supplied as sterile and is intended for professional surgical applications where high standards of hygiene and safety are required.
What is the standard length of these sutures?
Each of the 12 strands included in the pack is 18 inches long, providing enough length for a variety of surgical closure techniques.
