Frequently asked questions
Is this suture safe for patients with latex allergies?
Yes, these McKesson sutures are not made with natural rubber latex, making them a safe choice for patients with latex sensitivities.
Does this needle provide easy tissue penetration?
Yes, it features a P-11 3/8 circle precision reverse-cutting needle. This specific design is engineered for clean, smooth tissue penetration and effective approximation.
Are these sutures suitable for ophthalmic procedures?
Yes, these sutures are indicated for general soft tissue approximation and ligation, including cardiovascular, ophthalmic, and neurological surgery applications.
Are these sutures sterile and ready for clinical use?
Yes, they are sterile and single-use, manufactured to meet professional surgical standards for hygiene and safety.
Can I use these for permanent wound closure?
These are classified as non-absorbable surgical sutures. They are intended for long-term wound approximation and ligation where the suture material is expected to remain in the tissue until removed or encapsulated.
What is the primary material used for these sutures?
These are made from durable black monofilament nylon. This material is chosen for its high tensile strength and its ability to pass smoothly through tissue with minimal trauma.
Is the material coated?
No, these sutures are uncoated. The monofilament construction is designed to glide easily through tissue while maintaining reliable strength.
How many sutures are included in a box?
Each box contains 12 sterile strands, each with a pre-attached P-11 needle, to ensure clinical efficiency.
What is the length of the suture strand?
Each suture strand is 18 inches long, providing sufficient length for a wide variety of soft tissue closure techniques.
Is the needle length standard for this size?
The P-11 needle features a 16 mm length, which is specifically paired with the 5-0 suture size for precise maneuvering in tight surgical spaces.
