We’ve got stock ready to ship right now, so lead time is usually just a week or so—but our company can hold for cold chain if needed, just confirm the shipping window. The 65-day absorption is pretty standard, though tensile strength only holds for about 7-14 days, which basically means it’s best for quick-healing tissues, not for high-tension closures.
You’ll find the yellow label on the box, and we offer USP sizes from 6/0 all the way up to 3#, with lengths like 45cm or 75cm being the most common picks—most buyers go with the 75cm for general use. Needle options vary a lot, but the AISI 420 steel taper or reverse in 1/2 circle curvature covers most soft tissue work (check your preference on the order form).
Actually, the matrial is bovine intestinal serous layer, and it’s gamma-sterilized with a 3-year shelf life, but the tissue reactivity is moderate—nothing extreme, just something to note if you’re handling sensitive sites. It’s not ideal for areas that need long support, since that 7-14 day strength window is pretty tight, though we often see surgeons use it for subcutaneous or mucosal closures.
Packaing is straightforward: we ship in boxes of 12 or 24, depending on the size—usually 12 for the finer gauges like 6/0, and 24 for the thicker ones like 1# or 2#. We don’t always have every needle curvature in stock for all sizes, so give or take a few days if you need 5/8 circle or straight needles, but common 3/8 and 1/2 are typically on hand.
One thing buyers don’t always ask: the suture length can vary slightly form what’s printed—usually within a centimeter or so, but it’s never been an issue for standard procedures. And if you’re ordering 150cm lengths, that’s more for specialty use, like ophthalmic or microsurgery, so just flag it if you need a specific needle point shape like blunt or round bodied.
Anyway, the gamma radiation does a solid job on sterility, and we provide COAs per batch, so you’ll have the specs for your records. Just send the PO with the exact sizes and needle types, and we’ll confirm lead time within 2 business days—usually it’s the 60cm or 75cm lengths that move fastest.
MOQ depends on the size and needle type, but typically starts at 100 pieces per size. For custom needle or packaging requests, we can discuss lower minimums on a case-by-case basis.
We supply a Certificate of Analysis and sterilization validation for each batch. Our manufacturing follows ISO 13485 standards, and gamma radiation levels are documented per shipment.
Yes, 6/0 is available in 75cm with reverse cutting needles in 1/2 or 3/8 circle. Just confirm the needle curvature and point shape when you order so we can match the spec exactly.
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, ideally below 25°C. Keep sealed in the original packaging until use to preserve the gamma sterilization.
Standard production takes 15-20 working days. For custom needle types or lengths, add about 5-7 days for setup. We can expedite if you need a smaller batch sooner.
