Frequently asked questions
What high-quality, absorbable material are these sutures made from?
These Surgical Specialties sutures are crafted from Polydioxanone (PDO), a highly reliable, synthetic absorbable material.
Key features related to this material and structure include:
- Absorbability: PDO sutures are designed to be naturally absorbed by the body over time, eliminating the need for removal.
- Monofilament Structure: The single-strand design minimizes tissue trauma, allowing for smooth passage through the skin and dense tissue.
- High Quality: The material is suitable for demanding surgical settings that require predictable closure performance.
Are PDO sutures available in multiple sizes?
Yes, these Surgical Specialties PDO sutures are available in common USP sizes suitable for a variety of procedures. The available sizes are:
- Size 3-0
- Size 4-0
- Size 5-0
Do these sutures use precision cutting needles?
Yes, these professional-grade PDO sutures are available with specialized cutting needles designed for controlled penetration and use in delicate or dense tissues. The available configurations include:
- Needle Types: Options feature high-quality needle geometries such as Precision Reverse Cutting and Fine Reverse Cutting (including PS-2 and P-3 tips).
- Curvature: All needles utilize a reliable 3/8 Circle curvature, suitable for various surgical applications.
Are high-precision cutting needles used?
Yes, these professional-grade PDO sutures feature specialized cutting needles designed for precise tissue passage and control. The available needle options include:
- Precision Reverse Cutting: Excellent for applications requiring extremely fine control, often used in delicate or dense tissues.
- Fine Reverse Cutting (including variants like P-3 and PS-2).
All needle configurations feature a standard 3/8 Circle curvature.
Are these Polydioxanone (PDO) sutures absorbable?
Yes, these Surgical Specialties sutures are fully absorbable.
- Material: They are composed of Polydioxanone (PDO), which is an absorbable synthetic polymer.
- Structure: They are designed with a monofilament structure.
- Benefit: The absorbable nature means they eliminate the need for suture removal, facilitating optimal wound healing through predictable absorption rates.
Are highly visible color options available?
Yes, these PDO sutures are available in two options designed to meet different surgical visualization requirements:
- Violet: The dyed material offers enhanced visibility against tissue during the procedure.
- Undyed: This provides a natural, clear option for procedures where an uncolored suture is preferred.
How many sterile sutures are included per box?
These surgical supplies are provided in common surgical bulk packaging. Each box contains 12 individual, sterile PDO sutures (12/bx).
Are high-quality cutting needles included?
Yes, these PDO sutures include specialized, high-quality cutting needles designed for precise surgical applications, particularly where controlled tissue penetration is required.
Key features of the included needles are:
- Specialized Cuts: Available configurations include Precision Reverse Cutting and Fine Reverse Cutting needles. These designs are often recommended for skin closure or use in delicate, dense tissues.
- Curvature: All variants utilize a standard 3/8 Circle curvature.
- Needle Codes: Specific needle configurations carry codes such as P-3 and PS-2.
