The Surgical Specialties Surgical Sutures collection includes both black braided silk and monofilament polypropylene options, each meticulously designed for diverse medical procedures. The silk sutures offer superior handling and knotting capabilities, ideal for soft tissues, with sizes 6-0 and 3-0 ensuring versatility in use.

The precision-designed reverse cutting needles minimize tissue trauma, facilitating a smoother healing process. The polypropylene sutures provide exceptional tensile strength and are resilient in moisture-rich environments, making them suitable for long-lasting applications. Each suture is neatly packaged in a box or case of 12, ensuring you have ample supplies for consecutive procedures.

Key Features:

• Black braided silk sutures provide excellent knot security and are easily visible during procedures, ensuring precise placement.
• Precision reverse cutting needles are designed to reduce trauma in delicate tissue, enhancing patient comfort and recovery.
• Polypropylene monofilament sutures offer high tensile strength and consistent performance even in moist environments, making them ideal for long-term support.

Uses:

• Surgical sutures are used to close surgical incisions, secure deep tissue, and support wound healing. They are vital in medical surgeries for providing temporary support to tissue as it heals, thereby reducing recovery time and minimizing infection risks.

FAQs:

1. What is the advantage of a reverse cutting needle?
A reverse cutting needle minimizes tissue trauma and is ideal for closing tougher or more resilient tissues due to its unique blade direction.

2. Can the black braided silk sutures be used on all tissue types?
While excellent for soft tissue, silk sutures are non-absorbable and are generally not used in deeper tissues where absorption is needed.
