MEDTRONIC POLYSORB COATED SYNTHETIC ABSORBABLE SUTURES
Suture, Premium Reverse Cutting, Size 4-0, Undyed, 18", Needle P-13, 3/8 Circle, 1 dz/bx (Continental US Only)
Polysorb Braided Absorbable Sutures
Polysorb sutures are composed of Lactomer glycolide/lactide copolymer, which is a synthetic polyester composed of glycolide and lactide (derived from glycolic and lactic acids). They are prepared by coating the suture with a mixture of a caprolactone/glycolide copolymer and calcium stearoyl lactylate. The sutures are colored violet to increase visibility and are also available undyed.
The advanced extrusion process of the molecule of Lactomer 9-1, the exclusive braiding process and coating system, give the suture:
- Excellent strength over the critical wound healing period
- Excellent knot security
- Excellent handling
- Predictable absorption profile
- Polysorb sutures are indicated for use during surgical interventions, including ophthalmic surgery for the purposes of soft tissue approximation and/or ligation.
