Frequently asked questions
Is the Surgipro suture safe for cardiovascular procedures?
Yes, Surgipro is widely utilized in both general and cardiovascular operations. Its construction from an inert, isotactic crystalline stereoisomer of polypropylene and polyethylene ensures excellent tissue compatibility during these critical procedures.
Why is a monofilament design preferred for this suture?
The uncoated monofilament construction is designed to provide a smooth passage through tissue. This structure also ensures excellent knot-tying characteristics, offering reliable performance for surgeons during wound closure.
What is the benefit of the reverse cutting needle?
The C-13 reverse cutting needle, made from durable Surgalloy, is specifically engineered for precise tissue penetration. This design helps facilitate effective and clean wound closure during surgery.
Is the suture material naturally absorbed by the body?
No, this is a nonabsorbable suture. It is designed for procedures where the suture must remain in place to provide long-term wound support rather than being broken down by the body over time.
Are there any special warnings for this product?
Yes, this product is required to be reported under California Proposition 65. Please ensure you are aware of your institutional compliance requirements regarding this designation.
Is this product considered inert?
Yes, Surgipro sutures are inert, nonabsorbable devices. They are crafted to minimize tissue reaction, making them a reliable choice for surgical applications requiring high biocompatibility.
What does the 3-0 size indicate for this suture?
The 3-0 size is a standard suture gauge indicating the diameter of the strand. This specific size, combined with the 18-inch length, is designed to meet standard clinical requirements for general and cardiovascular wound closure.
How many strands are included in the package?
Each package contains 12 individual strands, providing a sufficient supply for clinical procedures.
Does the needle design help with surgical precision?
Yes. The 3/8 circle curvature and the 19 mm length of the C-13 needle are specifically selected to provide surgeons with the geometry needed for accurate and controlled tissue penetration.
What is the material composition of the needle?
The needle is constructed from Surgalloy, a high-quality material chosen for its durability and performance during surgical procedures.
