Product Overview
The Medtronic MITG - LL323 - Suture, Polysorb UD 2-0 98 Reel 226Y 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, ensuring reliable performance during the critical healing phase.
Features:
- Absorbable: Gradually breaks down in the body over approximately 56–70 days.
- High Tensile Strength: Maintains strong wound support during initial healing.
- Synthetic Material: Minimizes tissue reaction compared to natural absorbable sutures.
- Undyed (UD): Clear appearance for less visibility in tissues.
- Reel Packaging: Convenient for continuous suturing techniques.
- Size 2-0 (USP): Suitable for a variety of soft tissue applications.
Specifications:
- Material: Polysorb (Glycolide/Lactide Copolymer)
- Length: 98 cm
- Needle: Not included (suture only)
- Absorption Rate: 56–70 days
- Packaging: Single-use sterile reel
Use Suggestion:
This suture is ideal for subcutaneous and dermal closure in general surgery, as well as ligation of small vessels. Its absorbable nature eliminates the need for suture removal, making it suitable for internal tissues where long-term support is unnecessary. Ensure proper knot security, as synthetic materials may require additional throws compared to natural sutures.
