It saves valuable operative time by enabling the surgeon to use one suture while the next is being armed--without delay of opening packets or threading needles. Multistrand packets may contain 3 to 10 swaged sutures. The inner folder for these products is white. The suture material straightens as it is delivered from the folder. Each suture may be delivered to the surgeon individually from the opening packet or removed from the folder and placed in the suture book.
The safety organizer tray allows for single strand arming and dispensing. The needles are situated in individually numbered needle parks and may be armed and dispensed with little or no hand-to-needle contact. Ligating material used as either single strand free or freehand ties, or as continuous ties unwound from a reel or other device. The length of single strand ties is determined by the depth of the wound.
In subcutaneous tissue, quarter lengths approximately 14 inches are usually long enough for ligating. Deeper wounds may require single strand ties from 18 to 30 inches long. Single strand ligating material is available in pre-cut lengths or 18, 24, and 30 inch strands. Many surgeons prefer continuous ties. The size of the ligature material is indicated by the number of holes visible on the side of the reel e. The reel is held in the palm of the hand as blood vessels are ligated.
Other surgeons may prefer the ligating material rewound onto a rubber reel, gauze sponge, metal bobbin, or other device. The number of packets of ligating material required to tie off subcutaneous vessels bleeders will vary with patient size and age, the amount of bleeding, the type of operation, the length of the incision, and the surgical technique. An abdominal incision 8 to 12 inches long might require one to three packets to ligate the subcutaneous blood vessels.
Natural absorbable suture materials are packaged with a small amount of sterile fluid, usually alcohol with water, to maintain pliability. They should therefore be opened over a basin to prevent any solution from spilling onto the sterile field.
All needles should be counted after packets of swaged sutures are opened, according to established hospital procedure. The packets should be retained to facilitate verification of the final needle count after the surgical procedure.

Hemostasis Products Hemostasis Products Hemostasis is a complex process that prevents or stops blood flow from vessels in the operative site. Hemostasis not only prevents loss of the patient's blood, but provides as bloodless a field as possible for accurate dissection.
Various mechanical, electrical, and topical methods are used to achieve hemostasis. It is used to control local bleeding from bone surfaces by creating a mechanical tamponade barrier. Bone wax is minimally resorbable and should be used sparingly as it may inhibit osteogenesis and act as a physical barrier to the reparative process.
Excess bone wax should be removed from the operative site. Bone wax should not be used where rapid osseous regeneration and fusion are desired. Mild tissue reaction adjacent to the site of bone wax use has been reported. Also, studies have suggested that bone wax acts as a foreign body and may impair the ability of cancellous bone to clear bacteria. Histologic examination has revealed the appearance of macrophages and occasionally polymorphonuclear leukocytes and lymphocytes. Bone wax is supplied sterile in 2.
Packets should be opened just prior to use to minimize the possibility of contamination and excessive drying and should be used immediately. Using sterile technique, the wax should be warmed to the desired consistency by manipulation with the fingers or by immersion of the unopened foil packet in warm sterile solution. Bone wax should not be resterilized or subjected to excessive heat. Hemostasis is achieved through bipolar electrosurgery, or the controlled use of high frequency electric current for cutting and coagulation.
There are two types of electrosurgery: monopolar and bipolar. Both draw high voltage, high frequency current from an electrosurgical generator. The main difference between the two is the method of grounding each uses. In monopolar electrosurgery, the active electrode is both the cutting and coagulation instrument. The patient becomes part of the return path by being connected to a return electrode in the form of a grounding pad. The patient's tissue provides the impedance in this circuit.
However, although current density is diminished by both distance from the contact site and the return electrode, cutting or coagulation current can pass through the patient beyond the area of surgical concern, and may produce thermal damage in tissue surrounding the area of interest. Monopolar electrosurgery lacks a tight focus of operation in patient tissue.
In bipolar electrosurgery, both electrodes are active and are incorporated into a single instrument. Current is focused from one active electrode to the other active electrode through only the very small segment of patient tissue between them. Except for the tissue between the active and return electrodes, the patient is not part of the bipolar circuit. Therefore, bipolar electrosurgery is highly focused with regard to the targeted tissue. Since electrical energy delivered to tissue by means of bipolar electrosurgery is more focused than is the energy distribution produced by monopolar electrosurgery, cutting and coagulation with the POWERSTAR bipolar scissors can be performed closer to delicate structures, such as nerves and bowel tissue.
The bipolar scissors are particularly effective in cardiovascular, peripheral vascular, plastic, and ENT procedures. However, the POWERSTAR bipolar scissors are not indicated for contraceptive coagulation of the fallopian tube, but may be used to achieve hemostasis following transection of the fallopian tube.
It is used adjunctively in surgical procedures to assist in the control of capillary, venous, and small artery hemorrhage when ligation or other conventional methods of control are impractical or ineffective. As a result of the regeneration process, oxidized regenerated cellulose absorbs more rapidly than regular oxidized cellulose and is bactericidal.
Upon contact with blood, SURGICEL absorbable hemostat generally stops bleeding within 2 to 8 minutes by acting as a matrix for the formation of a clot. SURGICEL absorbable hemostat is generally absorbed from the site of implantation within 7 to 14 days with a minimum of tissue reaction. It is safe and reliable for use on or near vital tissue. Uniquely, SURGICEL hemostat is bactericidal in vitro against a wide range of gram-positive and gram- negative organisms including aerobes and anaerobes.
As such, it should not be impregnated with anti- infective agents. Two variations on regular SURGICEL hemostat, which is a loosely knit fabric, are provided to give the surgeon superior handling qualities for specific applications.
This process results in the product having consistency and adherence properties similar to those of cotton. All products are supplied sterile and should not be resterilized. INSTAT collagen absorbable hemostat, a purified and lyophilized freeze-dried bovine dermal collagen, is indicated in surgical procedures other than in neurosurgery and ophthalmology for use as an adjunct to hemostasis when the control of bleeding by ligature or other conventional methods are ineffective or impractical.
The material, prepared as a spongelike pad, combines the efficacy of collagen to control bleeding with the excellent handling properties of a sponge.
INSTAT hemostat, which can be cut to size, is applied directly to the bleeding surface with pressure. Hemostasis is typically achieved in 2 to 5 minutes. It can be used dry or moistened with sterile saline, depending on surgeon preference. It is inactivated by autoclaving and, therefore, should not be resterilized. INSTAT MCH other than neurological, urological, and ophthalmological is recommended for use in surgical procedures as an adjunct to hemostasis when control of bleeding by ligature or conventional procedures is ineffective or impractical.
The microfibrillar form may be more convenient than the sponge form for hard to reach or irregularly shaped bleeding sites. Although it is easy to pull the desired amount of INSTAT MCH from the entire supply, the group of selected fibers continue to cohere to one another and application to the bleeding site is easily controlled.
In contact with blood, the fibers expand to become a coherent gelatinous mass that conforms to the shape of the bleeding area. If desired, removal of this mass is easily accomplished. It is supplied sterile and should not be resterilized. The speed with which it will clot the blood is dependent on the concentration of thrombin and diluent. It can be used via spray, splash, powder, absorbable gelatin sponge, or collagen sponge.
El punto de seguridad queda debajo del borde de la herida. Sin embargo, se debe tener cuidado con el uso de estos dispositivos. Pase la sutura de Paso 2. They have been shown to be inexpensive and painless, and have antimicrobial activity against gram-positive organisms. They have a low rate of dehiscence and a low infection rate, and provide excellent cosmetic results. And, although 5- to 7-day follow-up visits may still be necessary, patients will not experience the anxiety and discomfort often associated with suture removal.
Additional benefits of DERMABOND adhesive include ease of use, formation of its own protective barrier, eliminating the need for additional bandages, and excellent cosmetic outcome. See instructions on next page and Package Insert on pages Clean and debride the wound and A Guide establish hemostasis.
Use subcutaneous sutures as needed. Remove applicator from packaging and hold with tip pointed upward. Apply pressure at the midpoint of the ampule, crushing the inner glass ampule. Invert applicator and gently squeeze to express the liquid through the applicator tip. Manually approximate the wound edges with forceps or gloved fingers. Avoid seepage into the wound as it may delay healing. Prior to application, apply petroleum jelly around the eye to block the adhesive from entering the eye.
Protect and hold the eye closed with a dry gauze pad and position the patient with a slight horizontal tilt so that any run-off travels away from the eye. Gradually build up three or four thin layers of adhesive. Ensure the adhesive is evenly distributed over the wound. Maintain approximation of the wound edges until the adhesive sets and forms a flexible film. This should occur about 1 minute after applying the last layer. Despegue las cintas etiqueta.

Sancionada por un acta del Congreso, la U. Surgical gut sutures are available in plain or chromic. Chromic gut is processed to provide greater resistance to absorption. Surgical gut is packaged in tubing fluid. Blue dyed chromic gut suture is also available. Surgical gut suture meets all requirements established by the United States Pharmacopeia U. ACTIONS When surgical gut suture is placed in tissue, a moderate tissue inflammation occurs which is characteristic of foreign body response to a substance.
This is followed by a loss of tensile strength and a loss of suture mass, as the proteolytic enzymatic digestive process dissolves the surgical gut.
This process continues until the suture is completely absorbed. Many variable factors may affect the rate of absorption. Some of the major factors which can affect tensile strength loss and absorption rates are: 1.
Type of suture - plain gut generally absorbs more rapidly than chromic gut. Infection - surgical gut is absorbed more rapidly in infected tissue than in non- infected tissue. Tissue sites - surgical gut will absorb more rapidly in tissue where increased levels of proteolytic enzymes are present, as in the secretions exhibited in the stomach, cervix and vagina.
The use of this suture is contraindicated in patients with known sensitivities or allergies to collagen or chromium, as gut is a collagen based material, and chromic gut is treated with chromic salt solutions. WARNINGS Users should be familiar with surgical procedures and techniques involving gut suture before using surgical gut suture for wound closure, as the risk of wound dehiscence may vary with the site of application and the suture material used.
Physicians should consider the in vivo performance when selecting a suture. The use of this suture may be inappropriate in elderly, malnourished, or debilitated patients, or in patients suffering from conditions which may delay wound healing.
As this is an absorbable material, the use of supplemental nonabsorbable sutures should be considered by the surgeon in the closure of sites which may undergo expansion, stretching or distention or which may require additional support. As with any foreign body, prolonged contact of any suture with salt solutions, such as those found in the urinary or biliary tracts, may result in calculus formation. As an absorbable suture, surgical gut may act transiently as a foreign body.
Acceptable surgical practice should be followed for the management of contaminated or infected wounds. Do not resterilize. Discard open packages and unused sutures. Certain patients may be hypersensitive to collagen or chromium and might exhibit an immunological reaction resulting in inflammation, tissue granulation or fibrosis, wound suppuration and bleeding, as well as sinus formation.
Fast absorbing surgical gut sutures are sterile and elicit only a slight to minimal tissue reaction during absorption. Fast absorbing surgical gut sutures differ from U. They should be utilized only for external knot tying procedures.
ACTIONS The results of implantation studies of fast absorbing surgical gut sutures in the skin of animals indicate that nearly all of its original strength is lost within approximately seven 7 days of implantation. When surgical gut suture is placed in tissue, a moderate tissue inflammation occurs which is characteristic of foreign body response to a substance. Infection - surgical gut is absorbed more rapidly in infected tissue than in non-infected tissue.
Data obtained from implantation studies in rats show that the absorption of these sutures is essentially complete by the twenty-first 21st to forty-second 42nd post implantation day. These sutures have been designed to absorb at a rapid rate and must be used on dermal tissue only.
These sutures should never be used on internal tissue. The use of this suture is contraindicated in patients with known sensitivities or allergies to collagen, as gut is a collagen based material. WARNINGS Users should be familiar with surgical procedures and techniques involving gut suture before using fast absorbing surgical gut suture for wound closure, as the risk of wound dehiscence may vary with the site of application and the suture material used.
Physicians should consider the in vivo performance when selecting a suture for use in patients. As an absorbable suture, fast absorbing surgical gut may act transiently as a foreign body. Store at room temperature. Certain patients may be hypersensitive to collagen and might exhibit an immunological reaction resulting in inflammation, tissue granulation or fibrosis, wound suppuration and bleeding, as well as sinus formation.
Avoid crushing or crimping damage due to application of surgical instruments such as forceps or needle holders. Surgical gut sutures require the accepted surgical technique of flat and square ties with additional throws as warranted by surgical circumstance and the experience of the surgeon. The surgeon should avoid unnecessary tension when running down knots, to reduce the occurrence of surface fraying and weakening of the strand.
Avoid prolonged exposure to elevated temperatures. Reshaping needles may cause them to lose strength and be less resistant to bending and breaking. Users should exercise caution when handling surgical needles to avoid inadvertent needle sticks. Discard used needles in "sharps" containers.
ADVERSE REACTIONS Adverse effects associated with the use of this device include wound dehiscence, variable rates of absorption over time depending on such factors as the type of suture used, the presence of infection and the tissue site , failure to provide adequate wound support in closure of sites where expansion, stretching or distension occur, etc.
Broken needles may result in extended or additional surgeries or residual foreign bodies. Inadvertent needle sticks with contaminated surgical needles may result in the transmission of bloodborne pathogens.
The characteristic of rapid loss of strength is achieved by use of a polymer material with a lower molecular weight than Coated VICRYL polyglactin suture. Polyglactin copolymer and polyglactin with calcium stearate have been found to be nonantigenic, nonpyrogenic and elicit only a mild tissue reaction during absorption.
Although this suture is a synthetic absorbable suture, its performance characteristics are intended to model the performance of collagen surgical gut suture. Natural mechanical abrasion of the sutures while in situ may also accelerate this disappearance rate. Rapid loss of tensile strength may preclude the need for stitch removal. Absorption begins as a loss of tensile strength followed by a loss of mass. All of the original tensile strength is lost by approximately 10 to 14 days post-implantation.
Intramuscular implantation studies in rats show that the absorption of these sutures occurs thereafter and is essentially complete by 42 days. Discard opened packages and unused sutures. As this is an absorbable suture material, the use of supplemental nonabsorbable sutures should be considered by the surgeon in the closure of the sites which may undergo expansion, stretching or distention, or which may require additional support.
Under some circumstances, notably orthopaedic procedures, immobilization of joints by external support may be employed at the discretion of the surgeon. Consideration should be taken in the use of absorbable sutures in tissues with poor blood supply as suture extrusion and delayed absorption may occur.
In handling this or any other suture material, care should be taken to avoid damage from handling. Coated VICRYL RAPIDE suture, which is treated with coating to enhance handling characteristics, requires the accepted surgical technique of flat and square ties with additional throws as warranted by surgical circumstance and the experience of the surgeon.
ADVERSE REACTIONS Adverse effects associated with the use of this device include wound dehiscence, failure to provide adequate wound support in closure of the sites where expansion, stretching, or distension occur, failure to provide adequate wound support in elderly, malnourished or debilitated patients or in patients suffering from conditions which may delay wound healing, infection, minimal acute inflammatory tissue reaction, localized irritation when skin sutures are left in place for greater than 7 days, suture extrusion and delayed absorption in tissue with poor blood supply, calculi formation in urinary and biliary tracts when prolonged contact with salt solutions such as urine and bile occurs, and transitory local irritation at the wound site.
Coated VICRYL suture is prepared by coating VICRYL suture material with a mixture composed of equal parts of copolymer of glycolide and lactide polyglactin with calcium stearate have been found to be nonantigenic, nonpyrogenic and elicits only a mild tissue reaction during absorption.
The sutures are available dyed and undyed natural. Progressive loss of tensile strength and eventual absorption of Coated VICRYL suture occurs by means of hydrolysis, where the copolymer degrades to glycolic and lactic acids which are subsequently absorbed and metabolized in the body.
All of the original tensile strength is lost between four and five weeks post implantation. Consideration should be taken in the use of absorbable sutures in tissue with poor blood supply as suture extrusion and delayed absorption may occur.
Coated VICRYL sutures, which are treated to enhance handling characteristics, require the accepted surgical technique of flat and square ties with additional throws as warranted by surgical circumstance and the experience of the surgeon. Poliglecaprone 25 copolymer has been found to be nonantigenic, nonpyrogenic and elicits only a slight tissue reaction during absorption. Essentially all of the original tensile strength is lost by 28 days post implantation.
