5-0 18" Coated Suture, Braided, with 13mm C-6 3/8 Circle Reverse Cutting Needle

Description

  1. The MacSuture Absorbable Suture Polyglycolic Acid (PGA) is designed to provide superior performance and reliability for a wide range of surgical applications. Known for its exceptional strength and predictable absorption profile, this 5-0 braided absorbable suture is an ideal choice for various soft tissue approximations and ligations.
  2. Key Features:
  3. High-Quality Material: Made from polyglycolic acid, this suture offers excellent tensile strength and minimal tissue reaction. Polyglycolic acid is a synthetic, absorbable material that is hydrolyzed in tissue, providing dependable wound support during the critical healing period.
  4. Violet Color: The violet color of the suture enhances visibility during surgical procedures, making it easier for the surgeon to distinguish the suture from the surrounding tissue.
  5. Gauge Size 5-0: The 5-0 gauge size is suitable for delicate and fine tissue approximations, often used in plastic surgery, ophthalmic procedures, and microsurgery.
  6. Length of 45 cm: The 45 cm length provides ample material for a variety of suturing techniques and applications, allowing for efficient handling and reduced waste.
  7. 3/8 Circle Needle: The 3/8 circle needle is designed for ease of penetration and smooth passage through tissue. It provides precise control and is ideal for curved or deep surgical sites.
  8. RC 13mm Precision Needle: The RC (Reverse Cutting) needle has a sharp, triangular point that ensures clean, accurate cuts through tough or dense tissues. The 13mm size offers a balance between maneuverability and the strength needed for various surgical procedures.
  9. Absorbable: This suture is absorbable, eliminating the need for removal and reducing patient discomfort. The predictable absorption profile ensures that the suture retains its tensile strength for an appropriate duration before being fully absorbed by the body.
  10. Sterilized: Each suture is individually packed and sterilized to ensure safety and sterility, minimizing the risk of infection and ensuring optimal performance.
  11. Specifications:
  12. Material: Polyglycolic Acid (PGA)
  13. Color: Violet
  14. Gauge Size: 5-0
  15. Suture Length: 45 cm
  16. Needle Type: Reverse Cutting (RC)
  17. Needle Length: 13 mm
  18. Needle Shape: 3/8 Circle
  19. Absorption Profile: Predictable hydrolytic absorption, complete in approximately 60 to 90 days
  20. Sterility: Sterile, individually packed
  21. Applications:
  22. The MacSuture Absorbable Suture Polyglycolic Acid is suitable for a wide range of surgical procedures including but not limited to:
  23. Soft tissue approximation
  24. Ligatures
  25. General surgery
  26. Plastic and reconstructive surgery

    What are the names of braided sutures?

    Braided sutures are known for their superior knot security and flexibility, and some of the most common names include Vicryl, Polyglycolic Acid (PGA), Dexon, and silk. These sutures are widely used for their ability to hold tissues securely, making them ideal for surgical procedures requiring precise tissue approximation. The 5-0 18 inch Coated Suture, Braided, with 13mm C-6 3/8 Circle Reverse Cutting Needle offered by MacSuture is a high-performance braided option, designed for optimal strength and easy handling in delicate surgeries. With its superior braided structure, MacSuture ensures that surgeons have the reliability they need in critical wound closures.

    What is the difference between braided and non-braided suture?

    Braided sutures are made from multiple filaments that are woven together, offering greater flexibility and better knot security. They are often used in situations where precise tissue handling is necessary. In contrast, non-braided sutures, or monofilaments, are single strands that minimize tissue drag and reduce the risk of harboring bacteria but may be harder to tie. The 5-0 18 inch Coated Suture, Braided, with 13mm C-6 3/8 Circle Reverse Cutting Needle from MacSuture provides the best of braided technology—ensuring smooth tissue passage, knot security, and enhanced control for surgeons who demand quality.

    Is Prolene a braided suture?

    No, Prolene is not a braided suture. It is a monofilament suture made from polypropylene, known for its smooth tissue passage and low tissue reactivity. However, while Prolene may be effective in certain situations, MacSuture's 5-0 18 inch Coated Suture, Braided, with 13mm C-6 3/8 Circle Reverse Cutting Needle offers superior handling and knot strength. This makes it an excellent choice for surgical procedures where precise closure and strength are essential. Surgeons trust MacSuture's braided sutures for enhanced performance and peace of mind during every procedure.

    What is the strongest suture material?

    Stainless steel is considered the strongest suture material, though it is rarely used in soft tissue surgeries due to its stiffness. For absorbable sutures, polydioxanone (PDS) offers prolonged strength, but for general absorbable sutures, polyglycolic acid (PGA) is highly trusted. The 5-0 18 inch Coated Suture, Braided, with 13mm C-6 3/8 Circle Reverse Cutting Needle by MacSuture is a high-strength, braided PGA suture that offers both reliability and controlled absorption during the healing process. MacSuture's high-quality braided sutures ensure strong wound support while being easy to work with, making them a go-to for surgeons worldwide.

    What are the 4 types of sutures?

    Sutures are generally categorized into four types: absorbable, non-absorbable, monofilament, and braided. Absorbable sutures, like polyglycolic acid (PGA), break down naturally in the body over time. Non-absorbable sutures, such as nylon or Prolene, require removal once the wound heals. Monofilament sutures consist of a single strand, while braided sutures, such as MacSuture's 5-0 18 inch Coated Suture, Braided, with 13mm C-6 3/8 Circle Reverse Cutting Needle, are made from multiple filaments woven together for added strength and flexibility. MacSuture offers top-tier braided sutures, ensuring reliability and exceptional performance in surgical settings, making them an essential choice for medical professionals.
