Frequently asked questions
Are these sutures suitable for soft tissue procedures?
Yes, Monosof nylon sutures are specifically indicated for general soft tissue approximation and ligation, providing a reliable, inert, and nonabsorbable solution for clinical wound closure.
Why choose a reverse cutting needle for my work?
The C-14 reverse cutting needle is designed to provide excellent control and precision. Its geometry is optimized for effective passage through tissue, making it a preferred choice for surgical applications requiring high accuracy.
Is the material gentle on patient tissue?
Yes. The sutures are engineered from long-chain aliphatic polymers (Nylon 6) specifically to elicit a minimal inflammatory response in patient tissue, supporting better healing outcomes.
Does the suture maintain its elasticity after implantation?
Yes, Monosof sutures are noted for their high elasticity. They are engineered to maintain consistent performance and tension even after they have been implanted in the tissue.
Is this a monofilament or braided suture?
This product is a monofilament suture. Monofilament construction is preferred for its smooth passage through tissue and lower risk of harbor-site infections compared to multifilament alternatives.
Are these sterile and ready for use?
Yes, these are sterile, factory-new surgical sutures from Covidien, ensuring they meet the necessary standards for clinical use right out of the package.
What is the length of the suture strand provided?
Each suture strand in this 36-count pack is 30 inches long, providing ample length for standard ligation and approximation procedures.
Are these sutures dyed for better visibility?
Yes, the nylon material is dyed black using a logwood extract. This provides enhanced visibility against tissue during surgical procedures.
What is the specific needle curvature?
The needle features a 3/8 circle curvature, which is a standard configuration that offers a versatile angle for accessing and suturing various types of soft tissue.
What is the needle length for the C-14?
The C-14 needle included in this set has a length of 24 mm, providing a balance between control and maneuverability for precise wound closure.
