Frequently asked questions
Does the wax coating improve handling?
Yes, the uniform wax coating is specifically designed to provide superior handling. It significantly increases surface lubricity, which allows for smoother tissue passage and ensures excellent knot run-down properties.
Is the material safe for patients with allergies?
The suture is not made with natural rubber latex, making it a safer option for surgical workflows. However, it is composed of natural silk fibers and is contraindicated for patients with known sensitivities to silk.
Why is the C-13 reverse cutting needle preferred?
The C-13 reverse cutting needle is precision-engineered to provide optimal penetration. Its 3/8 circle shape is designed for stability and high performance during soft tissue approximation.
How reliable is the knot security?
The braided construction combined with the uniform wax coating ensures reliable knot security. This design minimizes capillarity and makes the suture highly effective for secure wound closure.
What is the primary material used?
These sutures are constructed from high-quality natural proteinaceous silk fibers (fibroin), which offer the consistency and strength required for professional surgical environments.
Is this suitable for delicate surgical procedures?
Yes, the 4-0 size and precision C-13 needle make this product versatile enough for various applications, including: - Cardiovascular procedures - Ophthalmic surgery - Microsurgery - Neurological procedures
Are the needles made of a durable material?
Yes, the needles are crafted from Surgalloy, a professional-grade material selected for its strength, precision, and stability during surgical use.
Should I be aware of any absorption limitations?
As this is a non-absorbable suture, please note that it is not intended for cases where permanent retention of maximum tensile strength is required, as the silk fibers undergo a gradual loss of strength in vivo over time.
How are these sutures best stored?
To maintain sterility and product integrity, it should be kept in a cool, dry place. Please note that these are single-use items and should never be resterilized.
What is the exact needle geometry?
The suture features a 3/8 circle reverse cutting geometry. This specific configuration is chosen to provide the best balance of penetration and control during soft-tissue tasks.
