Frequently asked questions
Does this suture material cause tissue irritation?
The McKesson nylon suture is a monofilament, which is specifically designed to ensure smooth tissue passage. Its design helps to minimize tissue drag and the risk of inflammation during the wound closure process.
Is the needle suitable for delicate soft tissue?
Yes, the suture comes with a C-13 reverse cutting needle. This shape is precision-engineered to provide optimal penetration and control while minimizing trauma, making it an excellent choice for delicate soft tissue approximation.
Is this product safe for patients with latex allergies?
Absolutely. This product is manufactured not made with natural rubber latex, ensuring a safe, hypoallergenic option for use in clinical environments where latex sensitivity is a concern.
How reliable is the knot security?
These sutures are crafted from high-grade nylon, specifically selected for its dependable knot security and consistent diameter, which are essential requirements for successful, long-term surgical outcomes.
Can these sutures be re-sterilized if unused?
No. These sutures are strictly for single use only. They must not be re-sterilized or reused, as this compromises the integrity of the sterile barrier and the performance of the materials.
Is this suitable for cardiovascular surgery?
Yes, this suture is intended for general soft tissue approximation and ligation, which includes applications in cardiovascular, ophthalmic, and neurological surgery.
Does the nylon break down over time?
No, this is a non-absorbable suture. It is designed for cases where long-term support is required for wounds, providing permanent closure rather than breaking down within the body.
Is this suture visible during surgery?
Yes, these are black-dyed synthetic sutures. The dark color is specifically chosen to provide high visibility, allowing practitioners to easily track the thread against tissue during detailed procedures.
What is the needle made of?
The C-13 needle is constructed from Surgalloy, a high-performance material chosen for its strength, sharpness, and geometric stability during use.
How are the sutures packaged?
Each box contains 12 individually sterile-wrapped strands. Each pouch is designed to be easily peeled open and is clearly labeled with technical data for quick identification in high-pressure clinical settings.
