Frequently asked questions
Is this suture safe for minimizing tissue reaction?
Yes, Monosof nylon sutures are composed of an inert Nylon 6 polymer. This composition is specifically designed to minimize tissue reaction, providing a low inflammatory response during the healing process.
How does the suture perform after implantation?
These sutures are engineered for high elasticity. This feature allows them to maintain consistent performance and reliable tension post-implantation, which is essential for effective wound management.
Is this needle type suitable for soft tissue?
Absolutely. The included C-13 3/8 circle reverse cutting needle is specialized for soft tissue procedures. The reverse cutting design is optimized for consistent tissue penetration while helping to reduce overall trauma at the incision site.
Is this suture considered absorbable?
No, this is a nonabsorbable surgical suture. It is intended for applications where permanent or long-term support for soft tissue approximation and ligation is required.
Are these sutures easy to see during surgery?
Yes, they are dyed black using logwood extract. This high-contrast coloring is specifically intended to provide enhanced visibility for the surgeon during complex procedures.
What is the needle material composition?
The needle is crafted from Surgalloy, a high-quality material selected for its strength and precision performance during clinical applications.
Is this a monofilament or braided suture?
This is a monofilament suture. Being a single-strand fiber, it offers the structural integrity and smooth tissue passage required for professional soft tissue approximation.
What is the specific needle curvature?
The needle features a 3/8 circle curvature. This shape is designed to provide the ideal geometry for precise control in soft tissue approximation.
Are these sutures coated?
No, these Monosof nylon sutures are uncoated, ensuring a smooth, monofilament surface for minimal tissue friction.
How many sutures are provided per pack?
Each unit includes a package of 12 sterile strands, each with an attached C-13 needle.
