Frequently asked questions
Why is the Surgipro suture considered inert?
The Surgipro suture is composed of a high-grade isotactic crystalline stereoisomer of polypropylene and polyethylene. This monofilament construction is biologically inert, which helps to minimize the risk of tissue reaction during the healing process.
What is the benefit of the reverse cutting needle?
The P-13 precision reverse cutting needle is engineered to provide superior tissue penetration and control, making it ideal for procedures that require a smooth passage through tissue without cutting through the edges.
Does this suture offer good knot security?
Absolutely. These sutures are specifically designed with excellent knot-tying characteristics, which ensures surgical efficiency and long-term security once the wound is closed.
What are the common clinical applications for this suture?
The Surgipro 4-0 monofilament is highly effective for:
- General surgery
- Limited cardiovascular procedures
Its design is tailored for environments requiring reliable, nonabsorbable wound closure.
Are there any safety warnings I should be aware of?
Yes, please note that this product is subject to California Proposition 65 reporting requirements.
Is this a sterile, factory-new product?
Yes, all Surgipro sutures are factory-new and sterile to meet stringent clinical standards for surgical environments.
Is the blue color helpful during surgery?
Yes, the suture is dyed blue specifically to enhance visibility against tissue, which assists surgeons in maintaining precision during complex procedures.
Is the suture coated or uncoated?
This product features an uncoated monofilament construction, which contributes to its inert profile and smooth passage through tissue.
How many strands are included in the unit?
Each unit is configured as a 12-strand pack, providing the necessary quantity for clinical requirements.
What is the length of the suture provided?
The suture length is 18 inches, which is standard for general and cardiovascular surgical applications.
