Frequently asked questions
Why is this suture ideal for skin closure?
The monofilament design is non-adherent, which minimizes drag and trauma to the tissue during the healing process, making it an excellent choice for skin closure.
Is the suture material highly visible?
Yes, it features a distinct bright blue color, which ensures high visibility against tissue, making it easy for surgeons to identify and remove if necessary.
Does the suture strength degrade over time?
No, this is a nonabsorbable suture that offers indefinite tensile strength retention, providing consistent, permanent support for the tissue.
What type of needle comes with this suture?
Each strand is equipped with a precision conventional cutting needle shaped in a 3/8 circle. This needle is 19 mm in length and crafted from stainless steel to provide clean, controlled penetration of dense tissue.
Is this product suitable for delicate procedures?
Yes, it is designed for demanding environments, including cardiovascular, ophthalmic, and neurological applications, where precision and reliable soft tissue approximation are required.
Is the needle design appropriate for dense tissue?
Absolutely. The conventional cutting needle is specifically chosen for its ability to provide clean and controlled penetration into dense or resistant tissue types.
What is the material composition of the suture?
It is crafted from polypropylene, which is a synthetic linear polyolefin known for its smooth, uniform surface and inert properties.
Are these sutures coated?
No, these sutures are uncoated, ensuring a smooth monofilament surface that resists adherence to surrounding tissue.
How many strands are included in the box?
Each pack contains 12 individual strands, with one needle attached per strand.
What is the length of the suture strand?
Each suture strand is 18 inches (45 cm) long.
