Frequently asked questions
Is this suture safe for patients with latex allergies?
Yes, this suture is completely latex-free. It is formulated without natural rubber latex, making it a safe choice for patients with sensitivities.
Does the needle provide high-precision surgical control?
Absolutely. It features a 13 mm P-13 precision reverse cutting needle in a 3/8 circle shape, engineered to offer excellent control and minimize tissue trauma during delicate procedures.
Is the material suitable for long-term wound support?
Yes, this is a non-absorbable monofilament nylon suture. It is specifically designed to provide reliable, long-term wound support where permanent approximation is required.
Are these sutures easy to see during surgery?
The suture thread is dyed black, which provides high visibility against skin and tissue, allowing for better precision and accuracy for the surgeon during the procedure.
In which medical fields can this suture be used?
This suture is highly versatile and suitable for a wide range of clinical applications, including:
- Ophthalmic surgery
- Cardiovascular surgery
- Neurological procedures
- General soft tissue approximation and ligation
Is the suture strand coated for smoother passage?
This specific monofilament nylon suture is uncoated. The material properties of the nylon itself are engineered to ensure smooth passage through tissues without the need for additional coatings.
How many sutures come in each box?
Each box contains 12 sterile strands, with each strand equipped with one precision needle for efficient clinical use.
Is this product intended for multiple uses?
No, this is a sterile, single-use medical device. It should never be re-sterilized or reused to ensure patient safety and compliance with clinical hygiene standards.
Is the needle durable enough for surgical precision?
Yes, the needle is crafted from a high-quality alloy, providing the necessary structural integrity for effective soft tissue approximation in professional surgical environments.
What is the total length of each suture strand?
Each individual suture strand is 18 inches (45 cm) in length, providing ample material for various surgical ligation and approximation tasks.
