Frequently asked questions
Does the coating make the suture easier to use?
Yes, each strand is coated with a special wax mixture. This process is specifically engineered to ensure the suture passes through tissue with minimal resistance, significantly enhancing handling during surgical procedures.
Is this suture reliable for knot security?
Absolutely. The braided construction of the Perma-Hand SUTUPAK is specifically engineered to provide superior knot security, ensuring the closure remains stable and reliable.
Is this product suitable for use in sterile environments?
Yes, this product is sterile and is specifically designed for use in professional clinical and hospital settings for surgical wound closure.
Does this package include needles?
No, this specific item is provided without a needle. It consists of 18-inch sterile silk suture strands meant for practitioners who prefer or require non-needled sutures.
Is this suture permanent in the body?
The Perma-Hand SUTUPAK is a nonabsorbable suture. This means it is designed to maintain its tensile strength and remain in place until removed or left in situ, depending on the specific clinical protocol.
Are there any compliance limitations I should know?
Please note that this product is not BAA or TAA compliant. This is an important detail for clinical facilities that must adhere to specific procurement regulations for government contracts.
What is the benefit of the braided silk composition?
The braided silk composition offers a high-strength, nonabsorbable solution. The process includes removing natural waxes and gums from the anorganic protein, which limits excess capillarity and provides a smoother experience compared to untreated silk.
What does the 3-0 size refer to?
The 3-0 size indicates the gauge or diameter of the suture material. It is a standard sizing classification used in surgical medicine to denote the thickness of the thread, suitable for a range of surgical wound closure applications.
How long are the suture strands?
Each suture strand in the pack measures 18 inches in length, providing sufficient material for most standard wound closure tasks.
How many strands are typically in the box?
The product is supplied as a 12-strand configuration, ensuring you have an adequate supply of sterile sutures for your clinical needs.
