Frequently asked questions
Does the monofilament design provide smooth tissue passage?
Yes, as a monofilament suture, it is specifically engineered to offer smooth passage through tissue. This design minimizes drag, allowing for a cleaner and more efficient closure during delicate surgical procedures.
Is this suture safe for patients with latex allergies?
Absolutely. This product is explicitly manufactured without the use of natural rubber latex, making it a safe choice for patients with sensitivities or allergies to latex.
How reliable is the suture's strength over time?
The polypropylene material provides excellent tensile strength and maintains its integrity exceptionally well. It is a non-absorbable suture, meaning there is no significant change in strength retention even when left in the body long-term.
What is the benefit of the reverse cutting needle?
The P-13 reverse cutting needle is designed to minimize tissue trauma. Its precision geometry ensures optimal control for the surgeon while providing secure ligation and accurate soft tissue approximation.
Is this suture suitable for cardiovascular or ophthalmic surgery?
Yes, it is highly indicated for use in delicate surgical fields, including: - Cardiovascular procedures - Ophthalmic surgery - Neural procedures
How are these sutures packaged for clinical use?
Each box contains 12 individually packaged, sterile units. The peel-open pouches ensure that each suture remains sterile and protected until the exact moment it is needed in a clinical setting.
Does the blue color help with visibility during surgery?
Yes, the blue color of the monofilament is specifically chosen to provide high contrast against tissue, which assists the surgeon in maintaining visibility and tracking the suture line during the procedure.
Can these sutures be re-sterilized if unused?
No, these are strictly single-use units. For the safety of the patient and to maintain the integrity of the material, they should not be re-sterilized or reused under any circumstances.
What is the specific length of the included suture?
Each suture strand is 18 inches (45 cm) in length, providing ample material for precise soft tissue approximation and ligation tasks in professional surgical environments.
What is the needle's curvature and length?
The P-13 needle features a 3/8 circle curvature and measures 13 mm in length, providing the ideal balance of maneuverability and control for delicate surgical tasks.
