Unify Ultra Premium PGA Surgical Sutures

Our practice started ordering UNIFY surgical sutures because they are much less expensive than the company we used to order from. They are the same quality, if not better.

Microsutures are very small, thin sutures used in delicate surgical procedures, such as those involving small blood vessels or nerves. Using microsutures requires careful attention to detail and precision to ensure that the sutures are placed correctly and do not damage surrounding tissues.

Here are some general guidelines for using microsutures:

1. Choose the appropriate size and material: Microsutures come in a range of sizes and materials. The size of the suture should be appropriate for the tissue being sutured. The material should be chosen based on the patient's allergies, tissue compatibility, and surgical requirements.

2. Use proper instrumentation: Microsutures require special instruments, including a microsurgical needle holder and forceps. These instruments are designed to provide precise control and prevent damage to surrounding tissues.

3. Ensure proper placement: When placing microsutures, it is important to ensure that they are properly placed to achieve the desired outcome. This requires good visualization and a steady hand.

4. Use a proper technique: Microsutures are typically placed using a “figure-eight” technique, which involves passing the suture through the tissue in a loop and tying it in a knot. This technique helps to ensure that the suture is secure and does not slip.

5. Minimize tissue trauma: When using microsutures, it is important to minimize tissue trauma by handling tissues gently and avoiding excessive tension on the suture. This can help to reduce the risk of complications such as tissue necrosis or scarring.

Overall, using microsutures requires a high level of skill and precision. Surgeons who perform microsurgery should have specialized training and experience in using these techniques.
