Frequently asked questions

Does this suture material minimize tissue drag?

Yes, the monofilament construction and uncoated surface are specifically engineered to prevent tissue drag and adhesion, ensuring a smooth and trauma-free application.

Is the suture strong enough for long-term support?

Absolutely. As a nonabsorbable polypropylene material, it provides indefinite tensile strength retention, making it a highly reliable choice for applications requiring permanent long-term tissue support.

Is this suture easy to see during surgery?

Yes, the suture strand features a vibrant blue coloring. This contrast helps clinicians maintain excellent visibility during delicate procedures and allows for easy identification and removal.

What type of needle is included for precision?

This product includes the PC-3 precision conventional cutting needle. This 16mm, 3/8 circle stainless steel needle is designed for superior penetration and controlled, accurate incisions.

Is this suitable for delicate ophthalmic procedures?

Yes. The combination of the 6-0 suture size and the precision engineering of the PC-3 needle makes this an ideal choice for the rigorous demands of cardiovascular, neurological, and ophthalmic surgeries.

How many sutures are in a single box?

Each box contains 12 individual strands, each coming with its own pre-attached, factory-sterile PC-3 needle.

Is the monofilament material ideal for skin closure?

Yes, its non-adherent nature ensures that the suture does not stick to the skin or surrounding tissue, which is a key advantage for clean and effective skin closure.

What is the total length of each suture strand?

Each individual suture strand is 18 inches long, providing ample length for standard surgical approximation and ligation tasks.

Are these sutures supplied in sterile packaging?

Yes, this product is factory new and sterile, meeting the professional standards required for clinical and surgical environments.

Is this product designed for professional medical use?

Yes, these are professional-grade medical supplies manufactured by J & J Healthcare Systems (Manufacturer Number: 8636G), intended specifically for use in clinical and surgical settings.
