Frequently asked questions
What type of tissue is this suture best for?
The Mersilene polyester suture is specifically engineered for general soft tissue approximation. Its braided construction and reverse cutting needle provide the reliability needed for effective wound closure in clinical settings.
Is the suture material absorbable?
No, this is a nonabsorbable suture. It is composed of Poly (ethylene terephthalate), a durable material selected for its performance and long-term stability during the healing process.
What are the benefits of the braided design?
The braided structure is designed to provide precise and consistent tension during surgical procedures, ensuring reliable knot security and strength throughout the approximation process.
Why is the reverse cutting needle preferred?
The FS-1 3/8 circle reverse cutting needle is specifically designed for clean tissue penetration. This geometry minimizes trauma while passing through soft tissue, making it ideal for efficient surgical closure.
Is this product suitable for sterile environments?
Yes, it is provided in sterile packaging to ensure it is ready for use in professional surgical and clinical environments immediately upon opening.
Is the suture coated?
No, this particular variant of the Mersilene polyester suture is uncoated.
How long is the needle provided with this suture?
The included stainless steel FS-1 needle has a length of 24 mm.
How many strands are included in the package?
Each unit is a pack containing 36 strands of the 3-0 sized polyester suture.
What is the specific material composition of the suture?
The suture is made from Poly (ethylene terephthalate), commonly known as polyester, which is favored in surgery for its high durability.
What is the thread size of these sutures?
These sutures come in a 3-0 size, providing the standard thickness typically required for general soft tissue approximation.
