Frequently asked questions
Does this suture offer long-term wound support?
Yes, because it is made from non-absorbable monofilament polypropylene, it maintains its tensile strength in vivo over time, providing excellent long-term support for surgical sites.
Is the needle designed to minimize tissue trauma?
Absolutely. The P-12 precision reverse cutting needle is specifically engineered to facilitate smooth passage through tissue while actively minimizing trauma during the suturing process.
Is this material safe for patients with latex allergies?
Yes, the McKesson Polypropylene suture is 100% latex-free and is not manufactured with natural rubber latex.
How visible is the suture during surgery?
The suture material is blue-dyed, which provides superior contrast and visibility against tissue, ensuring the surgeon can track the suture line clearly during complex procedures.
What surgical specialties is this suture best for?
This suture is highly versatile and specifically indicated for general soft tissue approximation, including:
- Cardiovascular procedures
- Ophthalmic surgery
- Neural procedures
Is the needle made of a durable material?
The P-12 needle is crafted from a high-quality alloy, chosen for its ability to maintain structural integrity and precision during demanding surgical tasks.
How are these sutures packaged for clinical use?
Each box contains 12 individual, sterile-packed sutures. Each suture is kept in a compact, transparent protective holder that allows for quick identification and easy access to the needle in a sterile environment.
Is the needle shape suitable for tight spaces?
Yes, the 3/8 circle curvature of the P-12 needle is a classic configuration designed for optimal maneuverability and control when working in delicate soft tissue areas.
Can these sutures be re-sterilized if unused?
No. This product is strictly intended for single use only. For patient safety, please do not attempt to re-sterilize the sutures after the original packaging has been opened.
Is the suture length standardized for professional use?
Each strand is 18 inches long, providing the standard length required for precise tissue approximation in most professional clinical and surgical settings.
