Frequently asked questions
Does this suture maintain its strength over time?
Yes, Prolene sutures are engineered for indefinite tensile strength retention. This ensures consistent, reliable support for long-term wound healing in critical applications.
Is this material easy to spot during surgery?
Absolutely. The suture is manufactured using a bright blue monofilament pigment. This high-contrast design significantly improves visibility against surrounding tissues, making it easier for surgeons to track during procedures and identify during removal.
Why is the monofilament structure preferred for skin closure?
The monofilament structure is highly beneficial because it provides non-adherent properties. Because it does not adhere to the tissue, it allows for smooth passage and significantly minimizes trauma upon removal.
Is this suture suitable for delicate surgical procedures?
Yes, this configuration is specifically designed for delicate environments, including: <ul><li>Cardiovascular surgery</li><li>Ophthalmic procedures</li><li>Neurological surgeries</li></ul> The PC-3 precision cutting needle ensures the control needed for such sensitive work.
What type of needle is included in this package?
This suture features a PC-3 3/8 circle precision conventional cutting needle. This needle is 16 mm in length and is specifically engineered to provide clean, accurate cuts for soft tissue approximation.
Does the suture require a special coating?
No, this is an uncoated monofilament suture. The natural properties of the polypropylene material provide the necessary smoothness for easy passage through tissue without the need for additional coatings.
How many strands are included in one unit?
Each unit contains 12 strands, providing sufficient quantity for standardized soft tissue approximation and ligation tasks.
Is the material safe for surgical use?
