Frequently asked questions
Does this suture offer minimal tissue reactivity?
Yes. The Surgipro suture is constructed from an isotactic crystalline stereoisomer of polypropylene and polyethylene. This advanced material composition ensures the suture remains inert within the body, which helps promote stable and effective wound healing.
Is the knot-tying performance reliable?
Absolutely. These sutures are specifically engineered for excellent knot-tying security. The monofilament design is meticulously crafted to ensure consistent performance and stability during surgical procedures.
Is the needle durable enough for precise penetration?
Yes, the included C-13 needle is crafted from Surgalloy, a high-performance material known for its strength and sharpness. Its reverse cutting geometry is specifically designed to provide effective tissue penetration.
Can this be used for cardiovascular procedures?
Yes, this suture is highly versatile. It is specifically designed and approved for use in both general surgical procedures and limited cardiovascular operations.
Is the suture coated for smoother passage?
The Surgipro monofilament is uncoated. This deliberate design choice provides consistent, predictable performance during tissue approximation without the potential variability sometimes associated with coated sutures.
Is the suture easily visible during surgery?
Yes, the suture is blue-dyed. This color is specifically chosen to provide optimal visibility for the surgeon against tissue, ensuring precision during the suturing process.
How many sutures come in a pack?
Each unit includes a convenient 12-strand pack, with each strand featuring an integrated, high-quality Surgalloy C-13 needle.
What is the specific needle shape?
The C-13 needle features a 3/8 circle arc with a reverse cutting tip. This geometry is optimized for surgical precision and strength when navigating various tissue types.
What is the length of the suture provided?
Each strand in the package is 18 inches long, providing the ideal length for a wide range of surgical applications while maintaining ease of handling.
Is this product sterile?
Yes, all Surgipro sutures are provided as sterile devices, ensuring they are ready for use in professional clinical and surgical environments.
