Frequently asked questions
Does this suture offer reliable tissue compatibility?
Yes. Monosof nylon is composed of inert long-chain aliphatic polymers (Nylon 6). This construction is specifically engineered to be nonabsorbable and to elicit a minimal inflammatory response in the patient, ensuring excellent compatibility.
Is the suture material flexible enough for surgical use?
Absolutely. One of the primary advantages of this product is its high elasticity. It is designed to maintain superior structural integrity even after implantation, providing the necessary flexibility for effective tissue approximation.
Does the monofilament design aid in reducing tissue trauma?
Yes, the monofilament construction is a key feature. Unlike braided sutures, the smooth, uniform surface of the monofilament allows the suture to pass through tissue with minimal friction, which helps reduce trauma during the closure process.
Is the needle effective for edge-to-edge alignment?
Yes. It comes equipped with a C-14 3/8 circle reverse cutting needle. This specific geometry is highly effective for controlled tissue penetration and ensures reliable edge-to-edge alignment during surgical procedures.
Is the suture color optimized for high visibility?
Yes. The suture is dyed black, which provides high contrast against the surgical site, allowing clinicians to maintain clear visibility of the thread throughout the procedure.
Are these sutures suitable for routine soft tissue ligation?
Yes, these are professional-grade sutures specifically indicated for general soft tissue approximation and ligation in clinical or surgical environments.
How long are the suture strands provided?
Each individual strand in the package is 18 inches (45 cm) in length, providing an optimal length for a wide variety of standard surgical tasks.
What is the total quantity of strands per pack?
Each box contains 36 sterile strands, each pre-attached to a C-14 reverse cutting needle for immediate clinical use.
Is the needle material durable for surgical applications?
Yes, the needles are manufactured from a high-quality medical-grade alloy, designed to withstand the stress of penetration while maintaining their shape and sharpness during use.
Does the suture require any special coating for strength?
No. These sutures are uncoated, relying on the inherent high-quality properties of the Nylon 6 monofilament to provide the required strength and smooth passage through tissue without the need for additional coatings.
