Frequently asked questions

Does this suture offer reliable long-term support?

Yes, Prolene sutures provide indefinite tensile strength retention, ensuring the long-term integrity of the closure for your surgical procedures.

Is the material designed to minimize tissue trauma?

Absolutely. As a non-adherent, synthetic monofilament, this suture is specifically designed to minimize inflammation and ensure a smooth passage through tissue during closure.

How does the blue color improve surgical precision?

The vibrant blue monofilament material provides high visibility against tissue, which allows for more accurate suture placement and makes removal easier post-procedure.

Are the needles suitable for intricate ocular surgery?

Yes, each unit comes double-armed with a specialized ophthalmic spatula needle. These high-quality stainless steel needles are precision-engineered to navigate delicate anatomical structures with ease.

Is the suture material chemically inert?

Yes, Prolene polypropylene is a chemically inert material. This property is crucial for reducing tissue reactivity and promoting optimal healing conditions.

What is the specific needle size for this model?

This product features an ophthalmic spatula needle (CS160-6) with a length of 5.5 mm, ensuring the exact dimensions needed for fine soft tissue work.

Is this product suitable for cardiovascular procedures?

Yes, these sutures are specifically indicated for use in cardiovascular, ophthalmic, and neurological surgeries where reliability and precision are paramount.

How many needles are included per package?

Each unit is double-armed, meaning it is equipped with two ophthalmic spatula needles to accommodate complex surgical maneuvers.

Does the suture require a specialized coating?

No, this suture is uncoated. The monofilament polypropylene surface is designed to be smooth and non-adherent, which is ideal for reducing friction during placement.

Is the sterility guaranteed for medical use?

Yes, every unit is factory new and sterile. The packaging is professionally sealed to maintain the integrity of the suture and needles until the moment of use.
