Frequently asked questions
Are these sutures suitable for soft tissue approximation?
Yes, Monosof nylon sutures are specifically designed for general soft tissue approximation and ligation, providing a reliable and stable hold.
What is the benefit of the reverse cutting needle?
The C-14 3/8 circle reverse cutting needle is engineered for effective tissue penetration, allowing for controlled navigation and minimized trauma during surgical procedures.
Why is this suture considered biocompatible?
It is composed of inert long-chain aliphatic Nylon 6 polymers, which are designed to elicit a low inflammatory response in the patient, promoting better recovery.
Is the material flexible after implantation?
Yes, Monosof sutures provide high elasticity, which allows them to maintain consistent performance and tension even after implantation.
Are these sutures absorbable?
No, these are nonabsorbable surgical sutures. They are intended for applications where long-term, stable tissue approximation is required.
Are these sutures easy to see during surgery?
Yes, the suture is dyed black using logwood extract, which ensures high visibility against tissue during surgical procedures.
What does the 4-0 size designation signify?
The 4-0 size refers to the gauge of the suture material, which is standard for procedures requiring fine yet strong soft tissue closure.
How many sutures come in a box?
Each box contains 36 sterile strands, each pre-attached to a C-14 3/8 circle reverse cutting needle.
Is the suture coated?
No, the Monosof Nylon suture is uncoated, ensuring a straightforward monofilament performance suited for specific ligation and closure needs.
What is the length of the needle?
The included C-14 needle has a length of 24 mm.
