Product Overview
Medtronic - Biosyn - CM882 - Suture, 3-0 30" GS-22
The Medtronic Biosyn CM882 Suture is a synthetic, absorbable monofilament suture designed for general soft tissue approximation and ligation. Made from glycomer 631, a copolymer of glycolide, dioxanone, and trimethylene carbonate, it provides predictable absorption and excellent tensile strength retention during critical wound healing.
Features:
- Absorbable: Gradually breaks down in the body over approximately 90–110 days via hydrolysis.
- Monofilament Design: Minimizes tissue drag and reduces the risk of infection compared to multifilament sutures.
- High Tensile Strength: Maintains strength for 3–4 weeks post-implantation, supporting wound closure.
- Low Tissue Reactivity: Minimizes inflammatory response for better patient outcomes.
- GS-22 Needle: Features a 3/8 circle, reverse cutting needle for precise placement in various surgical applications.
Specifications:
- Size: 3-0 (USP)
- Length: 30 inches (76 cm)
- Needle Type: GS-22 (3/8 circle, reverse cutting)
- Material: Glycomer 631 (Biosyn)
- Absorption Profile: 90–110 days
Suggested Use:
This suture is ideal for subcutaneous and intradermal closures in general, plastic, and cardiovascular surgeries. Its monofilament structure and low reactivity make it suitable for sensitive tissues where minimal scarring is desired. Always follow aseptic techniques and surgeon preference for optimal results.
