Product Description
What this product is and who it's for
Medline MDS707555 is a single‑tray suture removal kit intended for routine suture removal in clinics, outpatient offices, long‑term care and other procedural settings. It is offered by Medline in packaged case quantities for routine replenishment.
Specifications
- Manufacturer model: MDS707555 (also referenced in some catalogs as MDS707555Z for alternate pack sizes).
- Pack/ordering: typically sold in manufacturer case packs (published examples include 50 trays per case; some distributors list 12/cs or other pack sizes).
- Tray contents: 1 Littauer (wire) scissors (metal), 1 Adson thumb forceps (plastic), 1 folded 3" x 3" gauze (12‑ply is listed in Medline literature).
- Tray type and flags: listed in Medline minor‑procedure literature under the 'Suture Removal — Economy / Floor‑Grade' table and shown alongside rigid tray and non‑latex flags.
What is included
- 1 Littauer (wire) scissors (metal) per tray.
- 1 Adson thumb forceps (plastic) per tray.
- 1 folded 3" x 3" gauze pad per tray.
- Note: some catalog rows for related SKUs include prep pads; that is not listed consistently for MDS707555 — check the seller's specific SKU description before ordering.
Condition and packaging
- Product is sold new from the manufacturer in case packs (see manufacturer catalog and distributor listings for pack size).
- Product photography on this listing and in some distributor pages shows tray contents laid out for identification; buyers should expect factory packaging around each tray when shipped by Medline (verify sterility/pack state on the seller invoice — see Warnings).
Usage notes
- Designed for suture removal procedures where a small scissors and forceps plus a gauze pad are required.
- Single‑use/consumable: sold as disposable procedural trays for routine clinical use (some resellers label as 'sterile' while catalog marketing has multiple package type indicators; confirm with seller if sterile single‑use packaging is required by your protocol).
Limitations and who this is NOT suitable for
- This listing does not provide information about instrument metallurgy or reusable surgical instrument reprocessing — this is a consumable tray intended for single‑tray use.
- If you require guaranteed sterile barrier certification or lot traceability for sterile instruments, verify the exact SKU and seller documentation before purchase.
Warnings
- Published sources and reseller pages show inconsistent wording on sterility (some reseller product pages call the tray 'sterile single‑use'); Medline catalog rows for procedure trays include multiple packaging options — buyers must confirm sterility and packaging type with the vendor for regulated environments.
- The item photo provided with this brief shows instruments outside sealed packaging; the photo is for content identification only and may not depict the final shipped, sealed packaging.
