Frequently asked questions
Why is the monofilament design beneficial?
The monofilament construction is non-adherent to tissue, which minimizes trauma during application and makes it an excellent choice for clean skin closures.
Is this suture easy to see during surgery?
Yes, it features a vibrant blue color, providing high contrast against tissue for precise placement and easier identification during removal.
Is this suitable for long-term tissue support?
Yes, as a nonabsorbable polypropylene suture, it is designed to provide reliable, indefinite tensile strength retention for critical, long-term applications.
What surgical procedures is this typically used for?
It is designed for general soft tissue approximation and ligation. Its Taper Point needle is specifically engineered for use in:
Are these sutures sterile?
Yes, all Prolene sutures are provided as sterile units, ensuring they are ready for use in professional surgical environments.
Does the needle have a specific curvature?
Yes, this product includes a 1/2 circle curvature CT-1 stainless steel needle, which is designed for consistent tissue penetration and guidance.
Is the material coated?
No, this specific Prolene suture is uncoated, ensuring a smooth, monofilament surface for minimal tissue resistance.
What is the needle size for this model?
This model features the CT-1 needle, which has a length of 36 mm and is constructed from high-quality stainless steel.
Is the suture material synthetic?
Yes, it is composed of synthetic polypropylene, which is widely recognized for its durability and consistent performance in surgical environments.
What is the total length of the suture strand?
Each strand is 30 inches long, providing sufficient length for standard ligation and soft tissue approximation tasks.
