Frequently asked questions
Does the monofilament design offer superior strength?
Yes. The monofilament polypropylene construction is specifically engineered for excellent strength retention and consistency. Because it is non-absorbable, the material maintains its structural integrity over time, providing reliable wound support during the healing process.
Is this suture safe for patients with latex allergies?
Absolutely. This product is manufactured entirely without natural rubber latex, making it a safe choice for patients and clinical environments where latex-free materials are required.
How does the needle design minimize tissue trauma?
The P-13 precision reverse cutting needle features a 3/8 circle shape and a 13 mm length designed for smooth, controlled penetration. The reverse cutting geometry is specifically crafted to pass through soft tissue with minimal drag and trauma.
Is the suture strand easy to see during surgery?
Yes, the suture strand is blue, providing excellent visual contrast against tissues during surgical procedures. This helps medical professionals maintain visibility and control throughout the approximation process.
Can this be used for sensitive ophthalmic procedures?
Yes. This suture is highly versatile and specifically designed for general soft tissue approximation and ligation, including delicate applications in: - Ophthalmic surgery - Cardiovascular procedures - Neural procedures
What is the total length of the suture strand?
Each individual suture strand measures 18 inches (45 cm) in length, providing ample material for precise ligation and tissue approximation.
Does each pack come with multiple sterile units?
Yes, every box contains 12 individual, sterile, single-use sutures. Each suture is individually packed and protected within a sterile holder to ensure complete integrity until the moment of use.
Is the needle made of high-quality durable materials?
The needle is crafted from a high-performance alloy, ensuring it maintains its shape and cutting edge precision throughout the surgical procedure.
How is the suture organized for quick access?
The packaging includes a sterile, semi-transparent needle retainer that keeps the suture strand organized and coiled. This ensures the suture remains tangle-free and ready for immediate use in fast-paced surgical environments.
Is this suitable for general clinical wound closure?
Yes, it is a professional-grade medical supply designed specifically for general soft tissue approximation. It is an ideal addition to standard surgical instrument trays and specialized wound closure kits.
