Frequently asked questions
Does this monofilament design minimize tissue trauma?
Yes, the non-adherent monofilament construction is specifically designed to minimize tissue trauma during passage, making it an excellent choice for delicate skin closures and soft tissue approximation.
Is the reverse cutting needle effective for delicate procedures?
Absolutely. The PS-2 3/8 circle precision reverse cutting needle is engineered to provide excellent penetration and reduced tissue drag, which is essential for demanding surgical environments like cardiovascular, neurological, and ophthalmic procedures.
Does this suture provide reliable, long-term tensile strength?
Yes, the Prolene Polypropylene suture is designed for permanent support, offering indefinite tensile strength retention to ensure the integrity of the ligation or approximation over time.
Why is the blue color helpful for surgeons?
The vibrant blue pigmentation is a functional feature that significantly enhances visibility against various tissue types, facilitating both precise placement during surgery and efficient retrieval when the suture needs to be removed.
Is the material suitable for smooth tissue passage?
Yes, the suture is uncoated, which allows it to pass smoothly through tissues while maintaining the consistent strength required for surgical ligation.
What is the needle material and length?
The needle is crafted from high-quality stainless steel and measures 19 mm in length, ensuring durability and precise control during use.
Are these sutures supplied in a sterile format?
Yes, each suture is Ethylene Oxide (EO) sterilized and provided in individual sterile foil and blister packaging to ensure clinical safety and readiness.
How many strands come in each package?
This product is supplied as a 12-strand pack, designed to meet high-volume surgical requirements efficiently.
Is this a trusted standard for surgical use?
Yes, manufactured by Ethicon, this Prolene suture is a widely recognized and trusted tool used by medical professionals in specialized surgical fields worldwide.
What is the specific needle curvature?
The needle features a 3/8 circle shape, which provides the optimal angle for controlled and accurate penetration during soft tissue procedures.
