Covidien SP5699G - Suture Srgpr2 Mono Blu P13 4-0 18" 12/BX

Covidien SP5699G SURGIPRO II Monofilament Polypropylene Suture, Premium Reverse Cutting, Size 4-0, Blue, 18" Length, Needle P-13, 3/8 Circle (Pack of 12)

Uncoated Surgipro II sutures (clear or pigmented) are inert, non-absorbable, sterile sutures composed of an isotactic, crystalline stereoisomer of polypropylene and contain polyethylene. Surgipro II sutures are indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, including use in cardiovascular, ophthalmic and neurological surgery. The suture is pigmented blue to enhance visibility.

Surgipro sutures are uncoated, inert, non-absorbable, sterile sutures composed of an isotactic, crystalline stereoisomer of polypropylene and contain polyethylene. These sutures are available dyed blue for visibility or undyed clear. Surgipro sutures are indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, including use in cardiovascular, ophthalmic, and neurological surgery.

The advanced extrusion process of the polypropylene molecule gives the suture:

• Uniform diameter
• Maximum flexibility of the strand
• Excellent security with snug and flattened knots
• Minimal memory and reduced "pig-tailing"
• Consistent knotting strength

Needle Performance

• Surgalloy premium needle alloy designed to enhance needle strength
• NuCoat coating maintains needle sharpness over the duration of the procedure, resulting in consistent penetration, pass after pass
• Optivis surfaced darkened needles provide maximum visibility without affecting needle performance
• Flat-pressed needles: CVF and KVF needles are available for enhanced stability in the needle driver
• Taper-cutting needles (KV) have a taper body with a cutting tip
• Cardiopoint needles:
• Specialized cardiac needles less likely to break when operating at difficult angles
• Y needles with smaller cutting tip

Indications:

SURGIPRO II - SURGIPRO polypropylene sutures are indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, including use in cardiovascular, ophthalmic and neurological surgery.

Actions:

SURGIPRO II - SURGIPRO polypropylene sutures elicit a minimal acute inflammatory reaction in tissues, which is followed by gradual encapsulation of the suture by fibrous connective tissue.

Tensile Strength:

SURGIPRO II - SURGIPRO polypropylene sutures are non absorbable and no significant change in strength retention is known to occur in vivo.

Multipass Penetration Comparisons

Packaging:

• SURGIPRO II polypropylene sutures are available either undyed (clear) or dyed with Copper Phthalocyanine Blue, in sizes 8-0 (0.4 Metric) through 3-0 (2 Metric).
• SURGIPRO polypropylene sutures are available either undyed (clear) or dyed with Copper Phthalocyanine Blue, in sizes 10-0 (0.2 Metric) and 8-0 (0.4 Metric) through 2 (5 Metric). The sutures are supplied sterile, in pre-cut lengths and ligating reels, non needled or affixed to needles using both permanent and removable needle attachment techniques: in one, two, and three dozen box quantities.
• SURGIPRO II polypropylene sutures are also available in presentations containing PTFE (polytetrafluorethylene) pledgets for use as a pad between the suture and the tissue surface to increase the load bearing area.
• PTFE (polytetrafluorethylene) pledgets for use as a pad between the suture and the tissue surface to increase the load bearing area.
• Bead & collar components to anchor the ends of the suture for subcuticular closure or for use as tendon sutures.
