Features:
- Absorbable: Gradually breaks down in the body over time, eliminating the need for suture removal.
- High Tensile Strength: Maintains strong wound support during the initial healing period.
- Synthetic Material: Minimizes tissue reaction compared to natural absorbable sutures.
- Violet Dyed: Enhances visibility during placement and knot tying.
- Undyed Needle: Precision-engineered for smooth tissue penetration.
Specifications:
- Size: USP 0
- Length: 27 inches
- Needle Type: GS-24 (3/8 circle, reverse cutting)
- Material: Polysorb (Polyglycolide-co-L-lactide)
- Absorption Profile: Typically absorbs within 56–70 days.
Use Suggestion:
Ideal for general soft tissue approximation in surgeries such as abdominal, orthopedic, and gynecological procedures, where secure, absorbable sutures are required. Suitable for both interrupted and continuous suturing techniques. Store in a dry, cool environment to maintain integrity before use.
