Additional Information for Suture Pledget
Suture pledgets are small, flat devices used in surgical procedures to reinforce the strength and stability of sutures. They are typically made of a soft, absorbable material such as collagen or synthetic polymers.
During a surgical procedure, a suture pledget is placed underneath the suture to provide additional support and prevent tearing or pulling through of the suture material. This is especially useful in areas where the tissue is weak or prone to tearing, such as in cardiovascular or orthopedic surgeries.
Suture pledgets come in various sizes and shapes, depending on the specific surgical application. They are often used in conjunction with sutures and surgical needles to ensure secure and long-lasting wound closure.
In summary, suture pledgets are important tools in the field of medical and surgical instruments. They help enhance the strength and durability of sutures, particularly in areas where additional support is needed.
