Frequently asked questions
Does the monofilament design reduce tissue drag?
Yes, the monofilament, uncoated construction is specifically engineered to minimize tissue drag, providing smooth passage through tissue for more precise and reliable wound closure.
Is the material well-tolerated by tissue?
Absolutely. The Surgipro suture is crafted from an isotactic crystalline stereoisomer of polypropylene and polyethylene. This material is highly inert, which ensures minimal tissue reaction during the healing process.
Why is the P-10 needle suitable for delicate work?
The P-10 needle is an 11 mm, 3/8 circle precision reverse cutting needle. This specific geometry is optimized for delicate tissue penetration, making it ideal for procedures requiring high levels of precision.
Are these sutures effective for cardiovascular surgery?
Yes, the Surgipro 7-0 polypropylene suture is specifically engineered for use in general and limited cardiovascular surgical applications where a reliable, nonabsorbable, monofilament material is required.
Is this product sterile for immediate clinical use?
Yes, the Surgipro sutures are provided sterile-packed and are ready for immediate use in sterile clinical or operating room environments.
Are there any specific handling warnings to consider?
This product is subject to California Proposition 65 requirements and is intended for use by trained medical professionals in appropriate clinical settings.
What is the benefit of the uncoated suture surface?
The uncoated design assists in predictable handling and offers excellent knot-tying reliability, ensuring the suture remains secure once placed.
How many sutures are in a single package?
Each package contains 12 individual strands, each equipped with its own P-10 precision reverse cutting needle.
Is the suture highly visible during surgery?
Yes, this suture is dyed blue, which provides excellent contrast against tissue for better visibility and placement accuracy during procedures.
What is the total length of each suture strand?
Each strand in the package measures 18 inches in length, providing sufficient material for various surgical techniques.
