Frequently asked questions
Does this suture provide permanent tissue support?
Yes, as a nonabsorbable polypropylene material, this suture is engineered to provide permanent and reliable support. It maintains its full tensile strength indefinitely, ensuring consistent approximation over time.
Is the suture material easy to see during procedures?
Absolutely. The suture features a bright blue monofilament design, which provides high contrast against the surgical field. This high-visibility color significantly aids both in the initial placement and during follow-up removal.
Does the non-adherent surface reduce tissue trauma?
Yes, the suture is specifically designed with non-adherent properties. This helps to minimize tissue trauma throughout the healing process, making it an excellent choice for clean skin closures.
Is the included needle durable for precise work?
Yes, each strand comes with a PS-2 3/8 circle precision reverse cutting needle. These needles are crafted from high-quality stainless steel, ensuring they remain sharp and reliable for delicate and precise surgical maneuvers.
Are these sutures suitable for cardiovascular and neurological procedures?
Yes, Prolene is a versatile choice widely utilized in professional medical settings, including: - Cardiovascular surgery - Ophthalmic procedures - Neurological surgery - General soft tissue approximation and ligation
Is the material coated to prevent friction?
No, this specific Prolene suture is uncoated. The monofilament construction is engineered for smooth passage through tissue without the need for additional coatings.
What is the length of each individual suture strand?
Each suture strand in the box is 18 inches long, providing an ideal length for most standard ligation and approximation tasks.
Is this a sterile medical product?
Yes, all sutures provided in the 36-strand box are strictly sterile and arrive in factory-new condition to ensure patient safety.
Is this suture effective for skin closures?
Because of its non-adherent nature and monofilament construction, this suture is highly regarded for clean skin closures, as it reduces the risk of tissue attachment and subsequent irritation.
How many sutures come in a single box?
Each box contains 36 strands, with each strand including a pre-attached stainless steel PS-2 precision reverse cutting needle.
