FAQ

What are surgical sutures, and how are they used in surgeries?

Surgical sutures are medical devices used to hold body tissues together
after surgery or injury. They are typically made of materials such as silk,
nylon, or absorbable polymers. Sutures are used to close wounds and
promote healing by keeping tissues in proximity until they can heal
naturally.

What types of surgical sutures do you offer, and what are their differences?

We offer a variety of surgical sutures including absorbable
and non-absorbable types. Absorbable sutures break down over time
and are absorbed by the body, while non-absorbable sutures remain in
place indefinitely. The choice depends on factors such as the type of
surgery, location of the wound, and patient characteristics.

Are your surgical sutures suitable for all types of surgeries?

Our surgical sutures are designed to meet the needs of a wide range of
surgical procedures. However, specific sutures may be better suited for
certain types of surgeries or tissues. Our team can provide guidance on
selecting the most appropriate sutures for your specific needs.

What materials are your surgical sutures made from, and are they biodegradable?

Our surgical sutures are made from high-quality
materials such as silk, nylon, or absorbable polymers like polyglycolic
acid (PGA) or polylactic acid (PLA). Some of our sutures are
biodegradable, meaning they break down naturally in the body over
time.

How do I know which size and type of suture to choose for a specific procedure?

Choosing the right size and type of suture
depends on factors such as the type of tissue being sutured, the
location of the wound, and the expected tension on the wound. Our
experienced team can provide recommendations based on your specific
surgical needs.

Do you provide training or resources on proper suturing techniques?

Yes, we offer training and resources on proper suturing
techniques. Our team can provide guidance on selecting the appropriate
sutures and techniques for optimal wound closure and healing.

What is the shelf life of your surgical sutures, and how should they be stored?

The shelf life of our surgical sutures varies depending on
the type of suture and packaging. Generally, they have a shelf life of
several years when stored properly in a cool, dry place away from direct
sunlight and extremes of temperature.

Are your surgical sutures compatible with different sterilization methods?

Yes, our surgical sutures are compatible with various
sterilization methods including ethylene oxide (EtO) gas, gamma

irradiation, and autoclaving. This ensures that our sutures are sterile
and safe for use in surgical procedures.

Can I purchase your surgical sutures in bulk or are there specific ordering quantities?

Yes, we offer bulk purchasing options for our
surgical sutures. Our team can work with you to determine the most
appropriate ordering quantities based on your needs and preferences.
