Frequently asked questions
Why choose nylon for soft tissue closure?
Nylon is an excellent choice for soft tissue approximation because it is inert and nonabsorbable. This formulation ensures minimal inflammatory response in the patient, promoting better healing outcomes while providing reliable, long-term structural support.
What is the benefit of the reverse cutting needle?
The precision reverse cutting needle is specifically engineered to provide superior control when navigating tough tissue. The 3/8 circle shape allows for precise, effective wound closure during delicate surgical procedures.
Does the material lose strength over time?
No. Because these sutures are made from high-quality, long-chain aliphatic polymers, they offer superior elasticity and maintain their structural integrity throughout the duration of the procedure and post-implantation.
Are these sutures safe for sensitive tissue?
Monosof sutures are formulated to be inert, which helps minimize the inflammatory response in the body, making them a suitable choice for soft tissue applications where tissue reactivity must be kept to a minimum.
Is this suture easy to see during surgery?
Yes, this Monosof suture is dyed black, which significantly enhances visibility against the tissue, allowing the surgeon to maintain better control and accuracy during the ligation or approximation process.
Are these sutures sterile and ready to use?
Yes, these are factory new, sterile sutures. They are designed for professional clinical use and come in a pack of 12 individual strands, each pre-attached to a precision needle.
What is the main application for this size?
The size 4-0 monofilament nylon is ideal for general soft tissue approximation and ligation where a durable, nonabsorbable material is required to ensure consistent results.
Is the nylon coating-free?
Yes, this version is uncoated. The monofilament structure provides a smooth passage through tissue while remaining highly reliable for secure knot placement.
How many sutures are in a pack?
Each unit includes 12 strands, with one precision reverse cutting needle attached to each individual strand.
What is the needle length?
This product features a 19 mm 3/8 circle precision reverse cutting needle.
