Frequently asked questions
Does this silk suture provide secure knotting?
Yes. The 12-strand braided design is specifically engineered to offer superior strength and consistent knot security, making it more reliable than monofilament alternatives.
How does the wax coating improve tissue passage?
The suture is treated with a proprietary wax mixture that reduces friction, allowing for much smoother passage through the tissue during surgical procedures.
Is the reverse cutting needle effective at preventing tissue damage?
Yes. The G-3 reverse cutting needle features a triangular cross-section with the cutting edge on the outer curvature. This design is specifically chosen to minimize tissue trauma and prevent the risk of tissue cutout.
Does this suture cause fluid wicking?
No. The combination of the braiding process and the protective wax coating is designed to reduce capillarity, ensuring the suture does not wick fluids into the wound site.
