Frequently asked questions

Does this suture offer long-term support?

Yes, this suture is engineered for indefinite tensile strength retention. This provides long-term security and consistent reliability for critical surgical repairs throughout the entire healing process.

Is this material easy to see during surgery?

The suture is made from a vibrant blue dyed synthetic material. This high-contrast color is specifically chosen to aid medical professionals in identifying the suture line, making both application and eventual removal much simpler.

Does the needle minimize tissue trauma?

Absolutely. The PS-2 precision reverse cutting needle is designed for consistent sharpness. This design ensures smooth tissue penetration and helps minimize trauma during the closure process.

Does the material stick to the tissue?

No, this is a non-adherent monofilament. Because it does not adhere to tissue, it is exceptionally effective for skin closure applications, allowing for a cleaner healing process and easier removal.

Is this suitable for specialized surgical procedures?

Yes, this suture is frequently utilized in high-stakes environments, including: <ul><li>Cardiovascular surgery</li><li>Ophthalmic procedures</li><li>Neurological specialties</li><li>General surgery</li></ul>

Is the needle durable enough for precise work?

The needle is crafted from high-quality stainless steel. It features a 3/8 circle geometry and a precision reverse cutting edge, which provides superior control and stability when performing delicate soft tissue approximation.

What is the total length of the suture strand?

Each strand in this package measures 18 inches in length, providing ample material for standard surgical ligation and approximation tasks.

How many strands are included in the pack?

Each purchase includes a 12-strand suture pack, ensuring you have a reliable supply for clinical or operating room environments.

Is this suture sterile and ready for clinical use?

Yes, all units are provided sterile in individual pouches and protective trays. This ensures that the product meets the rigorous safety and hygiene demands of professional medical settings.

Is the suture coated for easier handling?

This particular model is uncoated. The monofilament structure provides a smooth surface that slides easily through tissue without the need for additional coatings.
