Frequently asked questions
Are these sutures suitable for ophthalmic surgery?
Yes, these sutures are specifically engineered for ophthalmic precision. They feature high-performance 1/4 circle spatula needles, which are ideal for the delicate tissue manipulation required in eye procedures.
Is the material safe to minimize tissue reaction?
Absolutely. The Surgidac suture is composed of polyethylene terephthalate, a high-quality material chosen for its minimal tissue reactivity, helping to reduce the risk of inflammatory responses at the surgical site.
Does the braided design offer good knot security?
Yes, the suture utilizes a tight, uniform braiding process. This advanced manufacturing technique provides excellent knot security and high resistance to breakage, ensuring reliable performance during surgery.
How does the suture perform during delivery?
The uniform braiding ensures kink-free delivery. Surgeons benefit from improved handling, making it significantly easier to arm the needles and dispense the suture smoothly during procedures.
Are these sterile and ready for the operating room?
Yes, all Surgidac sutures are sterile, factory-new devices manufactured by Covidien, meeting the strict standards required for professional surgical environments.
Are these double-armed needles?
Yes, each unit is provided as a double-armed configuration, which is essential for certain ophthalmic techniques requiring needles on both ends of the strand.
Is the suture coated?
No, these specific Surgidac polyester sutures are uncoated, offering the specific tactile feedback and material characteristics preferred by many surgeons for precise tissue control.
What is the tensile strength like?
The suture offers high tensile strength due to its polyethylene terephthalate composition. It is designed to be highly resistant to breaking, providing consistent durability when used as directed.
What is the length of each suture strand?
Each suture strand is 18 inches long, providing the appropriate length for standard ophthalmic surgical requirements.
How many strands come in a package?
Each package contains 12 strands, ensuring a consistent supply for your surgical needs.
