Frequently asked questions
Is the nylon suture gentle on patient tissue?
Yes, this monofilament nylon suture is engineered specifically for minimal tissue trauma. Its smooth monofilament construction allows for consistent and seamless passage through tissue, reducing drag during the suturing process.
Can this be used for sensitive surgical procedures?
Yes, the precision-engineered 24 mm C-14 reverse cutting needle is designed to perform effectively in demanding clinical environments, including:
- Cardiovascular surgery
- Ophthalmic surgery
- Neurological procedures
Is this product safe for patients with latex allergies?
Absolutely. This suture is manufactured to be not made with natural rubber latex, helping to mitigate allergic responses and ensure patient safety during wound closure.
How strong is the tensile performance of this suture?
This non-absorbable nylon suture is designed for high tensile strength. The durable monofilament material ensures reliable performance and secure closure for general soft tissue approximation and ligation.
Does the needle provide good control during insertion?
The included 3/8 circle reverse cutting needle (C-14) is engineered for superior control. The reverse cutting geometry allows for precise and controlled tissue penetration, making it a preferred choice for intricate surgical work.
How should I store these suture strands?
These sutures come in a clinical-grade, rectangular box designed for professional storage and easy dispensing.
- The box features a perforated ‘Tear Here’ section for convenient access.
- Each box contains 12 sterile, single-use strands.
Is this suture suitable for single-use applications?
Yes, this product is strictly for single-use only. It is delivered sterile and must not be reused or re-sterilized to maintain safety and integrity protocols.
What is the length of each suture strand?
Each individual suture strand in the box measures 18 inches (45 cm), providing ample length for standard soft tissue approximation and ligation needs.
Is the needle made of high-quality alloy?
Yes, the C-14 reverse cutting needle is constructed from a high-grade alloy, ensuring that the needle remains sharp and reliable throughout the duration of the surgical procedure.
Why is the black color beneficial for surgery?
The black color of the nylon monofilament is chosen for high visibility. This allows surgeons to maintain clear contrast against the surgical site, facilitating easier identification and precision during the suturing process.
