Frequently asked questions
Does the monofilament design minimize tissue trauma?
Yes, this suture is constructed as a monofilament nylon, which provides a smooth, uniform surface. This design is specifically engineered to pass through tissue with minimal drag, which significantly reduces the potential for tissue trauma during the procedure.
Is the C-15 needle effective for soft tissue?
Absolutely. The C-15 reverse cutting needle features a 3/8 circle geometry that is precision-engineered for effective penetration. It is an excellent choice for soft tissue approximation and ligation where secure and reliable closure is required.
Are these sutures safe for latex-sensitive patients?
Yes, patient safety is a priority. These sutures are not made with natural rubber latex, making them a safe choice for surgical environments where latex sensitivity is a concern.
How many sutures are included in each purchase?
Each box contains 12 sterile strands, ensuring you have an adequate supply for clinical use while maintaining strict aseptic conditions.
Is this suture suitable for cardiovascular applications?
Yes, this product is designed for versatility. It is well-suited for soft tissue approximation and ligation, including specialized applications such as:
- Cardiovascular procedures
- Ophthalmic surgery
- Neurological procedures
What is the tensile strength of this material?
The suture is crafted from premium monofilament nylon, which is known for offering excellent tensile strength, ensuring long-term tissue support where a non-absorbable material is required.
Is the needle durable enough for surgical precision?
Yes, the needle is manufactured from a high-quality alloy, providing the necessary rigidity and sharpness for consistent, precise control during demanding surgical tasks.
How long is the actual suture strand?
Each strand is 18 inches (45 cm) in length, providing ample material for a wide variety of soft tissue approximation techniques.
Is the suture coated for easier handling?
This specific variant uses uncoated monofilament nylon. The absence of a coating allows for the naturally smooth surface of the nylon to remain intact, which helps prevent bacterial wicking and ensures smooth passage through the tissue.
Are these sutures sterile and ready for immediate use?
Yes, the sutures are supplied guaranteed sterile in single-use packaging. They are designed to meet high surgical standards and should be disposed of properly after a single procedure to maintain the integrity of your sterile field.
