HOW TO INTERPRET DYNEK CODE NUMBERS Code numbering is very important in the stock control and selection of sutures. There are many different types, and this can make the choice difficult. We believe that codes must be kept simple and should be easy to decipher. Needle Type Lift & Tear Thread Type Thread Size Length of Thread Single Use Only Lot No. Instructions For Use Expiry Date A: Refers to the Suture Material B: Suture USP C: Needle Number in Catalogue The codes convey three pieces of information: A. The first letter(s) refer to the material. B. The next number(s) refer to the USP thread size. C. The final number(s) refer to the needle code. * If #1 precedes the thread size, this indicates a longer thread length than the standard. For example, N-306 has a 45cm thread, where N-1306 has a cm thread. Pre-cut Lengths: Pre-cut lengths of sutures also have an easy to understand coding system. Please remember that the second letter of the code is equal to its numerical partner, i.e. A equals one strand; B equals two strands; C equals three strands etc. The first number(s) indicate the USP thread size. The last two numbers represent the thread length in inches eg: SM4024 = Silk x 13 strands size USP 4/0 x 24 inches in length. Once the coding is understood it is possible to use the code without the catalogue. In a teaching hospital it is good practice for staff to be able to explain what they are using and how they selected it. SYMBOL: The Symbol on the foil packet indicates the needle type eg: = round bodied taper needle, = reverse cutting needle DOUBLE ARMED: Double armed sutures have two symbols ( in the foil packet. ) next to the needle profile, to note two needles are
PACKAGING INFORMATION Packaging: The packaging of sutures is very important to everyone. Consequently, Dynek has developed a suture packet which is easy to use. All Dynek sutures are colour coded using the internationally accepted system, which allows easy transition from one brand to another. The Dynek primary foil packs are quick and easy to open revealing the needle locked in place to help prevent needle stick injury. Expiry Dates: To minimise stock holding, every Dynek primary pack and box label has the expiry date clearly shown. This provides the Operating Room Staff the ability to issue the sutures to other areas. Lot Numbers: Every Dynek foil and label is clearly marked with the lot number. Each lot number allows the product to be traced through every step of production, ensuring maximum manufacturing control and traceability.
