Absorbable Sutures

Our absorbable sutures provide strength retention and absorption profiles to meet your surgical specialty and tissue healing requirements.

CAPROSYN™ MONOFILAMENT ABSORBABLE SUTURES

Caprosyn™ synthetic absorbable suture’s quick absorption (56 days), durable polymer material and monofilament construction provide smooth passage through tissue, better approximation or ligation, and minimized potentiation of infection. Patients can experience less discomfort during healing, less wound complications and a faster recovery.

POLYSORB™ BRAIDED ABSORBABLE SUTURES

Polysorb™ sutures are composed of Lactomer™ glycolide/lactide copolymer, which is a synthetic polyester composed of glycolide and lactide (derived from glycolic and lactic acids). They are prepared by coating the suture with a mixture of a caprolactone/glycolide copolymer and calcium stearoyl lactylate. The sutures are colored violet to increase visibility and are also available undyed.

BIOSYN™ MONOFILAMENT ABSORBABLE SUTURES

Biosyn™ synthetic absorbable sutures are prepared from Gylcomer™ 631, a synthetic polyester composed of glycolide (60%), dioxanone (14%), and trimethylene carbonate (26%). These sutures are colored violet to increase visibility and are also available undyed.

MAXON™ MONOFILAMENT ABSORBABLE SUTURES

Maxon™ synthetic absorbable sutures are prepared from polyglyconate, a copolymer of glycolic acid and trimethylene carbonate.

MAXON™ CV MONOFILAMENT ABSORBABLE SUTURES

Maxon™ CV synthetic absorbable sutures are prepared from polyglyconate, a copolymer of glycolic acid and trimethylene carbonate.
