Frequently asked questions
Does the suture provide reliable long-term support?
Yes, the Prolene Polypropylene suture is engineered with indefinite tensile strength. This ensures excellent strength retention and consistent security for soft tissue approximation and ligation over time.
Is the material designed to minimize tissue trauma?
Absolutely. The suture features an inert, non-adherent monofilament construction that significantly minimizes tissue drag, making it a gentle and effective choice for surgical applications, including skin closure.
Are these sutures easy to spot during post-operative care?
Yes, they are highly visible. The suture is manufactured with a distinct blue pigment incorporated directly into the material, providing high contrast against tissue for easy identification and efficient removal.
What surgical specialties is this suture best suited for?
This suture is a versatile, high-quality choice for demanding environments, specifically designed for:
- Cardiovascular surgery
- Ophthalmic procedures
- Neurological surgery
- General soft tissue approximation
Is the needle made from high-grade materials?
Yes, the included CT-1 taper point needle is crafted from medical-grade, high-quality stainless steel, ensuring precise penetration and durability during complex surgical procedures.
How are the sutures packaged to prevent tangling?
To ensure peak performance and organization, each suture is contained within a circular plastic tracking card. This secures the monofilament to prevent tangling and keeps the needle fully protected until you are ready to use it.
Is the suture coated for smoother passage?
The Prolene Polypropylene suture is an uncoated monofilament. Its smooth, non-adherent surface is specifically engineered to pass through tissue with minimal resistance, reducing the need for additional coatings.
What is the specific geometry of the included needle?
The suture comes with a 36 mm CT-1 needle featuring a 1/2 circle shape. This specific geometry is selected for its ability to offer precise, controlled penetration in delicate tissues.
Are these sutures sterile and ready for the OR?
Yes, these are factory new, sterile medical products. They are delivered in individual foil packets within a professional-grade clinical box, ensuring they meet the strict safety standards required for operating rooms and surgical centers.
How many sutures are included in each box?
Each standard sterile kit contains 36 individual strands, providing a reliable and consistent supply for surgical teams and clinics.
