Maintenance Tips
-
Store properly – keep sutures in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight and moisture to preserve integrity.
-
Inspect packaging before use – ensure the sterile packaging is intact; do not use if packaging is damaged or opened.
-
Handle with care – avoid excessive bending, kinking, or crushing of the suture material, as this can weaken tensile strength.
-
Use appropriate instruments – utilize suitable needle holders and forceps to prevent damage to the needle or suture during surgery.
-
Maintain sterility – open only in a sterile field; do not touch the suture with non-sterile hands or instruments.
-
Avoid contamination – discard if the suture touches non-sterile surfaces before use.
-
Dispose safely after use – follow biohazard regulations for used needles and suture materials.
-
Check expiration date – do not use expired sutures, as tensile strength and handling characteristics may be compromised.
