Polyglactin 910 suture retains tensile strength of about 70% till 14days after implantation, it completely absorbs within 56-70days by simple hydrolytic mechanism and absorption is predictable. Properties: Good flexibility, Reliable knot security, Smooth passage through tissue provides no trauma, High tensile strength. 2. Polyglactin Sutures are used in general surgery, gynecological, Gastro-intestinal tract surgery, ophthalmic procedures. It is not used…
Polydioxanone suture is a synthetic, monofilament absorbable suture. Polydioxanone sutures are available from U.S.P. size 2 to size 6-0. Sutures are available in violet colour. Polydioxanone sutures are composed of polymers made from 100% homopolymer of polydioxanone. Polydioxanone sutures absorb by simple hydrolytic mechanism and absorption is predictable. Polydioxanone sutures retain about 70% of the initial tensile strength after 2…
Very high tensile strength initially Used for soft-tissue approximation and ligation. Excellent knot security and high pliability Very low incidence of infection and trauma Smooth tissue passage as it is monofilament Reliable absorption High in vivo strength retention
Monofilament Nylon is indicated in cardiovascular surgery; general surgery, plastic surgery, microsurgery, thoracic surgery, ophthalmology, gastrointestinal, orthopedic surgery, urology, general closure, cuticular, and retention. It is a surgical suture highly recommended for skin closure procedures, for situations in which it is required tissue reaction, and is very useful in case of presence of infection. Monofilament Nylon is a suitable material…
The Polypropylene synthetic surgical suture is indicated in general closure, herniorrhaphy, plastic / reconstructive surgery, urology and pediatrics. In addition, Polypropylene is particularly useful in cardiovascular surgery, especially as it is non-thrombogenic, and supporting the heart’s propulsion. By not adhering to the tissues, this synthetic suture is also ideal in areas which it must be subsequently withdrawn from (skin).
Polyester suture is a coated and braided non-absorbable surgical suture. Polyester sutures are available with silicone or PTFE coating (on demand only). Polyester sutures are available from U.S.P. size 5 to size 6-0. Sutures are available in green, white and black colours. Polyester sutures are composed of polyester which is a category of polymers which contain the ester functional group in…
