Product Overview
The Covidien Maxon Absorbable Suture with Needle (8886626971) is a high-quality, synthetic monofilament suture made from polyglyconate, designed for soft tissue approximation in general, ophthalmic, and cardiovascular surgeries. It offers excellent tensile strength and minimal tissue reaction, ensuring reliable wound support during the critical healing phase.
Features:
- Absorbable: Gradually breaks down in the body over approximately 180 days, eliminating the need for suture removal.
- Monofilament Construction: Smooth surface reduces tissue drag and minimizes bacterial adherence.
- Polyglyconate Material: Provides superior knot security and strength retention.
- Taper Point Needle: Precision-engineered 1/2 circle GS-21 needle ensures smooth tissue penetration with minimal trauma.
- Size 1 Suture: Optimal for a variety of surgical applications requiring strong, long-term wound support.
Specifications:
- Material: Polyglyconate (Maxon)
- Type: Monofilament, absorbable
- Needle Type: 1/2 circle, taper point (GS-21)
- Needle Size: 1
- Absorption Rate: ~180 days

Use Suggestion:
This suture is ideal for procedures requiring extended wound support, such as fascial closure, tendon repair, and cardiovascular anastomosis. Its monofilament design and absorbable nature make it suitable for internal suturing where minimal tissue reaction is desired. Always follow standard surgical protocols for suture selection based on tissue type and healing requirements.
