Product Overview
The Covidien Maxon Absorbable Suture with Needle is a high-quality surgical suture designed for secure wound closure in various soft tissue applications. Made from polyglyconate, this monofilament suture offers excellent tensile strength and smooth passage through tissue, minimizing trauma. The V-20 1/2 circle taper point needle ensures precise placement, making it ideal for procedures requiring controlled suturing.
Features:
- Absorbable: Gradually breaks down in the body, eliminating the need for suture removal.
- High Tensile Strength: Maintains strength for extended wound support during healing.
- Monofilament Construction: Reduces tissue drag and lowers the risk of infection.
- Taper Point Needle: Sharp and durable for smooth penetration with minimal tissue damage.
Specifications:
- Suture Material: Polyglyconate (Maxon)
- Needle Type: V-20, 1/2 circle, taper point
- Size: 3-0
- Length: Standard suture length
- Absorption Rate: Complete absorption within 180 days
Suggested Use:
This suture is well-suited for general soft tissue approximation, including fascial closures, cardiovascular, and ophthalmic procedures. Its low reactivity makes it a reliable choice for internal suturing where long-term wound support is needed. Store in a dry, sterile environment before use.
(Note: Always follow institutional protocols and surgeon preference for suture selection.)
