Frequently asked questions
Does this suture material minimize tissue reaction?
Yes, the Surgipro polypropylene suture is biologically inert. It is composed of an isotactic crystalline stereoisomer of polypropylene and polyethylene, which is specifically designed to ensure minimal inflammatory response within the tissue.
Is this suture easy to tie securely?
The monofilament, uncoated structure is engineered for exceptional knot-tying security. Its smooth surface allows for consistent and reliable knots during surgical procedures.
How does the needle design improve control?
This model features a P-14, 3/8 circle precision reverse cutting needle. This specific engineering provides surgeons with superior control and consistent, smooth tissue penetration.
Is this suitable for cardiovascular procedures?
Yes, this suture is specifically indicated for use in general surgical interventions as well as select cardiovascular operations.
Are these sutures easy to see during surgery?
Yes, the sutures are dyed blue. This color is chosen to ensure high visibility and clarity for the surgical team during procedures.
Is the material type consistent across the strand?
Absolutely. It is a monofilament synthetic material, which ensures a uniform structure throughout the 18-inch length for smooth passage through tissue without the drag associated with braided materials.
What is the specific length of the needle?
The needle included in this package is 24 mm in length, consistent with the P-14 precision reverse cutting configuration.
Does the suture require a special coating?
No, this product is uncoated. The monofilament design provides a naturally smooth surface that is already optimized for minimal tissue trauma and excellent handling.
How many strands are included in the package?
This specific configuration comes in a box containing 12 strands, with one needle attached to each strand.
Are these sutures sterile?
Yes, all Surgipro polypropylene sutures are provided in sterile packaging, ensuring they are ready for use in a clinical or operating room environment.
