Frequently Asked Questions related to MacSutures

What are the three basic types of needle?

The three basic types of suturing needles are cutting, taper-point, and reverse-cutting. Cutting needles have a sharp edge for suturing tough tissues like skin, while taper-point needles are rounded and ideal for soft tissues like intestines. Reverse-cutting needles are specifically designed to minimize trauma, making them excellent for delicate areas. At SurgiMac, we offer high-quality surgical needles, including all these types, tailored for precision and ease during procedures. Whether you're a dental professional or a surgeon, our sutures with needles ensure superior performance and optimal outcomes.

What are the 3 classification sutures?

Sutures are classified into three types: absorbable, non-absorbable, and synthetic. Absorbable sutures, like Polyglycolic Acid Sutures, break down naturally in the body, making them ideal for internal tissue repair. Non-absorbable sutures, such as Silk Sutures, are used for long-term wound support and may require removal. Synthetic sutures, like the ones made from PGA, provide predictable absorption and minimal tissue reaction. SurgiMac offers a wide range of sutures in each category, ensuring that dental professionals have the best materials for every procedure.

What are the three parts of a suture needle?

A suture needle consists of three key parts: the swage, the body, and the point. The swage is where the suture attaches to the needle, the body is the main shaft that allows smooth passage through tissue, and the point determines how the needle penetrates the tissue. SurgiMac's sutures with needles are engineered with precision, ensuring that all three parts function harmoniously to minimize tissue damage and promote efficient suturing. This makes them the preferred choice for dental professionals looking for superior surgical sutures with needles.

What are the different types of suture needles in veterinary medicine?

In veterinary medicine, cutting, tapered, and curved needles are commonly used. Cutting needles are used for suturing tough tissues, while tapered needles are ideal for soft tissues. Curved needles are preferred for deep surgical areas due to their maneuverability. SurgiMac offers a versatile selection of suture needles that meet the demanding needs of both human and veterinary surgeries. Our high-quality products provide durability and precision, making them suitable for a range of veterinary procedures.

What type of sutures do vets use?

Veterinarians typically use a mix of absorbable and non-absorbable sutures based on the type of tissue being repaired. Polyglycolic Acid Sutures and Chromic Gut Sutures are common absorbable options due to their predictable absorption and minimal tissue reaction. Silk Sutures and other non-absorbable sutures are used for longer-term tissue support. SurgiMac's suture line includes all these varieties, offering dependable strength and high-performance materials for veterinary surgeries, ensuring both efficiency and healing in every procedure.

Which type of suture needle would be best when suturing intestines?

When suturing intestines, a taper-point needle is typically preferred because it allows for smooth penetration without cutting through the delicate tissue. These needles, used with absorbable sutures like Polyglycolic Acid Sutures, ensure minimal tissue trauma and reliable knot security. SurgiMac's PGA sutures and taper-point needles are designed to provide precision and superior performance, making them a trusted choice for gastrointestinal surgeries. Our high-quality products ensure faster healing with minimal complications.

What needles do doctors use for stitches?

Doctors typically use cutting needles for skin sutures and taper-point needles for internal tissues. SurgiMac offers a full range of sutures with needles, including monofilament sutures with needles for less tissue drag and braided sutures with needles for improved knot security. Our products are designed for ease of use and precision, making them ideal for doctors seeking reliable tools for wound closure and tissue repair in dental or general surgical procedures.

What are the names of suturing needles?

Suturing needles come in various names based on their shape and function, including cutting, reverse-cutting, taper-point, and blunt-point needles. Each type serves a specific surgical purpose, with cutting needles being ideal for tough tissues and taper-point needles for softer tissues. SurgiMac offers a diverse selection of surgical sutures with needles, each designed to provide superior handling, precision, and tissue healing in various procedures.

How to choose a suture needle?

Choosing the right suture needle depends on the tissue being sutured and the type of procedure. Cutting needles are best for tough tissues like skin, while taper-point needles are ideal for soft tissues such as intestines or blood vessels. SurgiMac offers a wide range of surgical suture, including both curved and straight options, ensuring that you have the right tool for every application. Our needles are designed for maximum efficiency, precision, and tissue preservation, making them the preferred choice for dental professionals and surgeons alike.

What is the difference between a suture and a stitch?

While often used interchangeably, a suture refers to the material used to close a wound, while a stitch refers to the actual act of passing the needle and suture material through the tissue. Sutures can be either absorbable or non-absorbable, depending on the tissue and procedure. SurgiMac provides a comprehensive range of surgical sutures, designed for both absorbable and non-absorbable wound closure, ensuring reliable results in every surgery.

What are the four absorbable sutures?

The four commonly used absorbable sutures are Polyglycolic Acid (PGA), Chromic Gut Sutures, Plain Gut Sutures, and Vicryl Sutures. These sutures gradually break down in the body, making them ideal for internal tissue repairs. SurgiMac's PGA Sutures are known for their reliable strength and minimal tissue reaction, making them a popular choice among dental professionals for both routine and complex procedures.

How long does absorbable suture take to dissolve?

Absorbable sutures, such as Polyglycolic Acid Sutures and Chromic Gut Sutures, typically dissolve within a few weeks to a few months, depending on the material and location of the suture. For example, PGA sutures retain their strength for about 2-4 weeks and are fully absorbed by the body within 60-90 days. SurgiMac provides a wide range of absorbable sutures designed for predictable absorption, ensuring minimal tissue reaction and optimal healing. These sutures are ideal for procedures requiring temporary support, such as dental surgeries.

Are Vicryl sutures dissolvable?

Yes, Vicryl sutures are dissolvable. They are a type of absorbable synthetic suture made from a copolymer of glycolic and lactic acids. They maintain tensile strength for about 2-3 weeks and fully dissolve in the body over several months. SurgiMac offers similar absorbable sutures like Polyglycolic Acid Sutures, providing dental professionals with reliable, high-performance options for wound closure and soft tissue healing.

What is the difference between absorbable and dissolvable stitches?

There is no difference between absorbable and dissolvable stitches; both terms refer to the same type of sutures that naturally break down and are absorbed by the body over time. These sutures, such as Polyglycolic Acid Sutures and Chromic Gut Sutures, are ideal for internal procedures where suture removal is unnecessary. SurgiMac offers a range of absorbable sutures that ensure minimal tissue reaction and predictable absorption, making them a top choice for dental and surgical professionals.

Why don’t doctors use dissolvable stitches?

Doctors may opt not to use dissolvable stitches when long-term tissue support is required. For instance, non-absorbable sutures like Silk Sutures are preferred in areas where the tissue needs extended time to heal, or where tensile strength is critical. At SurgiMac, we provide both absorbable and non-absorbable sutures, offering professionals the flexibility to choose the best option for each procedure, whether it’s short-term healing or long-term tissue reinforcement.

Should I put anything on dissolvable stitches?

To promote healing and prevent infection, you can apply a thin layer of Vaseline or an antibiotic ointment on dissolvable stitches. This helps keep the area moist and prevents scabbing, reducing the risk of irritation. It's important to follow post-surgical care instructions from your doctor. SurgiMac's absorbable sutures, such as Polyglycolic Acid Sutures, are designed for predictable absorption and minimal tissue reaction, supporting faster recovery when properly cared for.

Why do you put Vaseline on dissolvable stitches?

Applying Vaseline to dissolvable stitches keeps the wound moist, which promotes healing and prevents scabs from forming. This also helps reduce irritation and discomfort. SurgiMac’s absorbable sutures are designed to work efficiently with post-surgical care routines, ensuring minimal tissue trauma and faster recovery. Our Polyglycolic Acid Sutures are ideal for dental professionals who prioritize both patient comfort and successful outcomes.

Should you brush dissolvable stitches?

For oral surgeries, gently brushing around the area with dissolvable stitches is essential to prevent infection, but avoid direct contact with the sutures. You should follow your dentist's or surgeon’s recommendations for post-surgical care. SurgiMac's absorbable sutures, such as Plain Gut Sutures, are designed for minimal tissue reaction and are commonly used in dental surgeries, ensuring a smooth recovery when appropriate care is taken.

Does hydrogen peroxide dissolve dissolvable stitches?

No, hydrogen peroxide does not dissolve dissolvable stitches. In fact, using hydrogen peroxide can slow down the healing process by irritating the tissue. SurgiMac recommends using gentle cleaning solutions or simply water and mild soap to maintain the area around absorbable sutures like Polyglycolic Acid Sutures. Our sutures are designed for predictable absorption, ensuring efficient wound healing without interference from external solutions.
