Product Overview
Medtronic MITG - CL925 - Suture, Polysorb Vio 1 36 GS-21
The Medtronic MITG - CL925 - Suture, Polysorb Vio 1 36 GS-21 is a high-quality synthetic absorbable suture designed for secure wound closure in general soft tissue approximation and ligation. Made from Polysorb, a copolymer of glycolide and lactide, this suture provides excellent tensile strength and predictable absorption, minimizing tissue reaction. The violet-dyed braided construction enhances visibility during procedures, while the GS-21 needle ensures precision in suturing.
