Micro point suture FAQs
What products are included in this collection?
The collection brings together Ethicon PROLENE and PDS Plus sutures supplied with Tapercut Micro Point needle configurations across several USP sizes and catalogue references.
What does “Micro Point” identify?
It is part of the manufacturer’s needle description. It should be matched with the complete point profile, needle code, dimensions, curvature and current product labelling.
Are CC175-8 and CC-1 interchangeable?
No equivalence should be assumed. Match the exact needle code, dimensions, curvature, attached suture and manufacturer catalogue reference against the authorised requirement.
Does micro point describe the suture material?
No. The collection includes both polypropylene and polydioxanone products. Verify the polymer, construction and absorption profile separately from the needle designation.
How should I compare micro point options?
Match the manufacturer’s needle code, branded point type, dimensions, curvature, USP size, strand length, arming and pack format against the original purchasing requirement.
How do I identify the correct product code?
Match the brand, material, absorbability, construction, USP size, colour, strand length, complete needle specification and pack quantity before confirming the manufacturer catalogue code.
