Frequently asked questions

Does this suture offer superior visibility during surgery?

Yes. This suture is dyed black, which provides exceptional contrast against delicate tissues, allowing surgeons to maintain high precision and accuracy throughout the procedure.

Is the material designed to minimize inflammatory responses?

Absolutely. The Ethilon suture is composed of high-quality polyamide, which is specifically engineered to provoke minimal acute inflammatory response, supporting reliable and safe wound management.

Is the spatula needle optimized for ophthalmic procedures?

Yes, it features a specialized 1/2 circle ophthalmic spatula needle. This design is specifically engineered for ocular applications to ensure optimal tissue handling and to minimize trauma during surgery.

What is the expected degradation profile for this suture?

Ethilon is a nonabsorbable monofilament. It features an extremely slow degradation and encapsulation profile, typically lasting 1 to 2 years.

Does the needle configuration assist with specialized tasks?

Yes, the product comes in a double-armed configuration, which provides the surgeon with consistent performance and flexibility needed for specialized wound closure tasks.

How smooth is the passage through delicate tissue?

Because this is a monofilament structure, it offers a very smooth passage through tissue, reducing resistance and helping to maintain the integrity of the surgical site.

Is this product guaranteed to be sterile?

Yes. This is a factory-new medical device that is provided in sterile packaging, ensuring it meets the rigorous safety standards required for surgical environments.

What are the physical dimensions of the needle?

The included CS160-6 ophthalmic spatula needle has a length of 5.5 mm and follows a 1/2 circle geometry, ideal for precise ocular maneuvers.

Is the suture coated for easier handling?

This specific Ethilon monofilament suture is uncoated, which is standard for its high-performance design to ensure reliability and minimal tissue drag.

Is this suture suitable for extremely fine surgical needs?

Yes, the suture size is 10-0, which is a very fine gauge designed specifically for the demanding, high-precision requirements of ophthalmic surgery.
