Surgical Specialties Surgical Sutures

Surgical Specialties Sutures are constructed from high-quality, surgical-grade materials, allowing for selection based on procedural requirements and tissue needs:

• Silk (Black Braided): These sutures offer excellent visibility and handling properties due to their black braided structure. They are highly valued for reliable, high tensile strength.
• Polypropylene (Monofilament): Designed with a monofilament structure, this material ensures smooth passage through tissue with minimal drag, which helps reduce potential tissue trauma.

Surgical Specialties Sutures are available in two precise sizes: 3-0 and 6-0. These options ensure suitability for a variety of surgical procedures and tissue requirements.

Yes, these professional Surgical Specialties sutures utilize specialized needle geometries optimized for controlled tissue passage and precise handling. The specific cutting type depends on the configuration:

• Precision Reverse Cutting: Available in certain variants (such as Size 3-0 Silk) to maximize accuracy and achieve highly controlled tissue cutting.
• Reverse Cutting: A robust, standard cutting type offered across other configurations, providing reliable performance for various procedures.

All needle assemblies feature a consistent 3/8 Circle curvature. Needle lengths vary by variant, available as either 19mm or 11mm.

The Surgical Specialties Sutures feature specialized needles designed for precise surgical handling. The key needle specifications are:

• Cutting Types: Two advanced geometries are offered: Reverse Cutting and Precision Reverse Cutting.
• Curvature: All configurations use a standard 3/8 Circle curvature.

Needle sizes are specifically paired based on the suture size:

• A 19mm needle is used for Size 3-0 sutures.
• An 11mm needle is used for Size 6-0 sutures.

All variants provide a consistent thread length of 18 inches (45 cm).

Yes, all configurations of the Surgical Specialties Sutures feature a consistent 3/8 Circle needle curvature.

This standardized curvature is optimal for surgical applications requiring precision, offering:

• Controlled Tissue Passage: Ideal for precise manipulation and approximation of tissues.
• Easy Maneuverability: Ensures secure and accurate placement during closure.

Depending on the specific variant (suture size) you choose, the 3/8 Circle curvature is paired with two available needle lengths:

• 19mm Needle Length (often paired with Size 3-0 sutures)
• 11mm Needle Length (often paired with Size 6-0 sutures)

The Surgical Specialties Sutures are supplied in standardized counts per package, regardless of the specific material (Silk or Polypropylene) or size chosen.

The standard quantity is:

• 12 sutures per container (either a case or a box).

This packaging is typically denoted as 12/cs (12 per case) or 12/bx (12 per box).

Yes, Surgical Specialties Sutures are supplied in Factory New condition, which ensures they are sterile and reliable for surgical procedures. This ready-to-use condition is crucial for maintaining patient safety and operational efficiency in medical settings.

The Surgical Specialties Sutures are manufactured with consistent dimensions across all available configurations to ensure reliability in surgical applications.

• Suture Length: All variants have a standardized length of 18 inches (45 cm).
• Needle Curvature: Furthermore, all configurations utilize a uniform 3/8 Circle needle curvature.
