Frequently asked questions

Does the monofilament design reduce tissue trauma?

Yes, the non-adherent monofilament construction is specifically engineered to minimize tissue trauma, making it an excellent choice for delicate skin closure applications.

Is this suture reliable for long-term support?

Absolutely. As a nonabsorbable synthetic suture, it offers indefinite tensile strength retention, ensuring that wounds receive secure and reliable support over an extended period.

How does the blue pigmentation assist surgeons?

The vibrant blue color provides excellent contrast against surgical tissue. This enhances visibility during complex procedures and allows for simplified identification and removal post-closure.

Is the FS-1 needle effective for tough tissue?

The FS-1 reverse cutting needle is precision-engineered for the task. Its 3/8 circle geometry and sharp design allow for precise penetration and smooth passage through even dense or tough tissues.

Is this suture suitable for specialized surgeries?

Yes, it is built for professional-grade versatility and is indicated for use in a broad range of demanding surgical specialties, including:

  • Cardiovascular surgery
  • Ophthalmic surgery
  • Neurological surgery
What is the material composition of the suture?

The suture is made of high-quality dyed synthetic polypropylene, which provides the ideal balance of high tensile strength and minimal tissue reaction.

Are these sutures provided in a sterile state?

Yes, every strand in the 36-strand pack is guaranteed sterile and ready for use in a professional clinical environment.

Does the suture surface require a special coating?

No, this suture is uncoated. The monofilament material is designed to be naturally non-adherent to provide smooth movement through tissue without the need for additional coatings.

What is the specific length of each suture strand?

Each individual suture strand in the pack measures 18 inches (45 cm) in length, providing ample material for standard ligation and approximation procedures.

What is included in the box configuration?

Each purchase includes a professional-grade clinical box containing 36 individual strands, each equipped with the precision FS-1 stainless steel needle.
