Ethicon #3-0 Black Braided Silk Suture Reels 25Mtr (R 822) – Pack of 6

Description

Ethicon #3-0 Black Braided Silk Suture Reels are an essential choice for non-absorbable surgical suturing, designed to meet the needs of various surgical procedures with precision and reliability. Each pack includes six reels, each providing 25 meters of high-quality silk suture, ensuring ample material for multiple surgeries. Made from premium-grade silk and coated with a special wax, these sutures offer enhanced handling and smooth tissue passage. The braided construction provides superior tensile strength, making the sutures robust and durable for reliable tissue approximation and ligation. Classified as non-absorbable, these sutures ensure long-term tissue support, ideal for procedures requiring prolonged tissue approximation. The black dye improves visibility during surgery, aiding in precise placement and reducing the risk of errors. Suitable for a wide range of surgical procedures, including general, cardiovascular, ophthalmic, and orthopedic surgeries, these sutures are individually packaged to maintain sterility, ensuring safety and reducing the risk of infection. As a renowned name in surgical sutures, Ethicon guarantees high standards of quality and reliability, making these sutures trusted by surgeons worldwide. PERMA-HAND Sutures, indicated for general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, including cardiovascular, ophthalmic, and neurological procedures, elicit an acute inflammatory reaction that gradually leads to encapsulation by fibrous connective tissue. While these silk sutures are not absorbed by the body, the proteinaceous silk fibers may degrade over time, potentially resulting in a gradual loss of tensile strength.

Directions for Use

Preparation:

• Ensure all necessary sterile instruments and materials are prepared in advance of the procedure.
• Verify the integrity of the suture reel packaging. Do not use if the packaging is damaged or compromised.

Opening the Package:

• Carefully open the sterile packaging using aseptic techniques to maintain sterility.
• Remove the suture reel from the package without touching the suture directly to avoid contamination.

Cutting the Suture:

• Measure the required length of suture needed for the procedure.
• Use sterile scissors to cut the suture to the desired length.

Threading the Needle:

• Select an appropriate surgical needle for the procedure.
• Thread the suture through the eye of the needle, ensuring it is securely attached.

Tissue Approximation and Ligation:

• Use standard surgical techniques to approximate and ligate the tissue.
• Pass the needle and suture through the tissue smoothly, minimizing tissue trauma.
• Tie secure knots to ensure reliable tissue approximation. Ethicon’s braided silk sutures offer excellent knot security and handling characteristics.

Finishing:

• Once the suturing is complete, cut the excess suture material close to the knot using sterile scissors.
• Inspect the sutured area to ensure proper placement and tension of the sutures.

Post-Procedure Care:

• Follow standard post-operative care protocols to monitor the surgical site for any signs of infection or complications.
• Inform the patient about care instructions and the importance of follow-up visits to assess the healing process.

Storage:

• Store unused suture reels in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture.
• Ensure the remaining sutures are kept in their original sterile packaging until needed.
