Sutures for tendon repair FAQs

What products are included in this collection?

This collection is intended to group sutures associated with tendon-repair purchasing across polydioxanone, polyester, polypropylene, polyglactin 910 and other authorised material families.

Does the collection include absorbable and non-absorbable options?

The planned range covers both categories. Confirm the required material, construction, manufacturer-defined characteristics and product code against the authorised specification.

Are PDS II, polyester and polypropylene equivalent?

No. They are different polymer and construction families with distinct manufacturer specifications. Do not substitute one for another without an authorised requirement.

How should I compare tendon repair needle options?

Match the named needle code, point type, diameter, curvature, length and single- or double-armed configuration against the original purchasing requirement.

Why must I check the full product specification?

Products with the same USP size can differ by material, colour, construction, strand length, coating, needle geometry, arming and pack quantity.

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.
