Frequently asked questions
Is the material suitable for long-term tissue support?
Yes. This suture is made from Poly (ethylene terephthalate), which is a nonabsorbable material specifically chosen for its exceptional strength and reliability in maintaining tissue approximation over time.
What is the benefit of the braided construction?
The braided structure of the Mersilene suture provides superior handling and enhanced knot security compared to monofilament alternatives, ensuring it remains stable during delicate surgical procedures.
Is the needle designed for precise tissue penetration?
Yes, it features a P-3 3/8 circle precision reverse cutting needle. This design is engineered to ensure consistent tension and optimal penetration, allowing for exact needle placement.
Is this suture intended for general surgical use?
Absolutely. It is professionally designed for general soft tissue approximation and is a trusted choice for surgical facilities requiring reliable, sterile closure materials.
What are the dimensions of the needle included?
The needle is a 13 mm stainless steel precision reverse cutting needle, chosen for its durability and high-performance geometry during clinical use.
How many strands are included in the package?
Each unit includes 12 strands of the 4-0 sized Mersilene polyester suture, providing sufficient volume for standard clinical requirements.
Is the suture coated for easier passage?
No, this specific model (MPN R691G) features an uncoated braided surface, which provides the tactile feedback and handling characteristics preferred by many surgical professionals.
Does this product meet high sterility standards?
Yes. All units are sterile and manufactured by J & J Healthcare Systems as a factory-new medical device, ensuring they are ready for use in professional surgical environments.
What is the total length of each suture strand?
Each strand is 18 inches long, providing the ideal length for common soft tissue closure tasks while maintaining ease of handling for the surgeon.
Is the suture highly visible during the procedure?
The suture is white, which is a standard color choice to ensure clear visibility against various tissue types during the approximation process.
