Product Overview
The Covidien Maxon Absorbable Suture with Needle is a high-quality, synthetic monofilament suture designed for precise wound closure in general, ophthalmic, and cardiovascular surgeries. Made from polyglyconate, this suture offers excellent tensile strength and minimal tissue reaction, ensuring optimal healing.
Features:
- Absorbable: Gradually breaks down in the body over time, eliminating the need for suture removal.
- Monofilament Construction: Smooth surface reduces tissue drag and minimizes bacterial adherence.
- Precision Reverse Cutting Needle (P-10, 3/8 Circle): Ensures clean, controlled penetration with reduced trauma.
- Size 6-0: Fine gauge suitable for delicate tissue approximation.
- High Tensile Strength: Maintains integrity during critical wound healing phases.
Specifications:
- Material: Polyglyconate
- Needle Type: P-10, 3/8 Circle Reverse Cutting
- Suture Size: 6-0
- Length: Standard suture length (varies by packaging)
- Absorption Profile: Typically retains strength for 4–6 weeks, with complete absorption by 6 months.
Use Suggestion:
Ideal for ophthalmic procedures, microsurgery, and fine tissue approximation where minimal scarring and precise suturing are required. Ensure proper knot security due to the suture’s monofilament nature. Store in a dry, cool environment to maintain sterility.
