Frequently asked questions

Does the monofilament design reduce tissue trauma?

Yes, the non-adherent monofilament construction is specifically designed to ensure minimal tissue trauma. Because the suture is uncoated and features a smooth profile, it glides through tissue with significantly less resistance compared to braided alternatives.

Is the suture durable for long-term support?

Absolutely. Prolene Polypropylene is engineered for indefinite strength retention, providing the consistent tensile support required for procedures where permanent or long-term ligation is necessary.

Does the blue color help with identification?

Yes, the vibrant blue pigmentation is a key feature that allows for easy identification and visibility during surgery and throughout the post-operative removal process.

Is this suture suitable for delicate surgical procedures?

Yes, the combination of the smooth monofilament material and the precision-engineered 26 mm CT-2 taper point needle makes it an excellent choice for delicate applications, including: <ul><li>Cardiovascular surgery</li><li>Ophthalmic procedures</li><li>Neurological surgery</li></ul>

Is the CT-2 needle effective for precise suturing?

The 1/2 circle taper point geometry of the CT-2 needle provides surgeons with exceptional control, allowing for precise penetration and smooth movement through soft tissue.

Is the material used highly reliable?

This suture is crafted from professional-grade synthetic polypropylene, a material chosen for its high-performance characteristics in clinical environments, including its excellent tensile strength and non-absorbable properties.

Does the pack contain sufficient quantities for clinical use?

Each unit is supplied as a 36-strand pack, making it a practical and efficient option for professional hospital, clinical, and surgical center settings.

Is the suture delivered in a sterile condition?

Yes, all sutures are supplied as sterile units, ensuring they are ready for immediate, safe use in professional surgical environments right out of the packaging.

How long is each suture strand provided?

Each individual suture strand is 30 inches in length, providing ample material for various soft tissue approximation and ligation techniques.

Does the uncoated surface improve surgical performance?

The uncoated surface is a critical design feature that ensures the suture maintains a smooth profile. By reducing friction, the surgeon experiences minimal resistance as the suture passes through tissue, which is essential for gentle handling.
