Product Overview
The Covidien Maxon GMM-632L Absorbable Suture is a high-quality, synthetic monofilament suture made from polyglyconate, designed for secure wound closure in general soft tissue approximation and ligation. Its smooth, non-capillary surface minimizes tissue drag, reducing trauma during suturing. The suture is absorbable, gradually breaking down in the body over time, eliminating the need for removal.
Features:
- Material: Polyglyconate (synthetic monofilament)
- Absorbable: Naturally metabolized by hydrolysis
- High Tensile Strength: Retains strength for extended wound support
- Minimal Tissue Reaction: Low risk of inflammation or irritation
- Sterile: Individually packaged for single-use safety
Specifications:
- Size: 1 (USP)
- Length: 45 cm (17.7 inches)
- Needle: Not included (suture only)
- Color: Undyed (clear)
- Absorption Rate: Typically absorbed within 180 days
Use Suggestion:
Ideal for subcutaneous and fascial closures where prolonged wound support is needed. Suitable for general surgery, orthopedic, and plastic surgery applications. Ensure proper knot security due to its monofilament nature. Store in a dry, cool environment before use.
(Note: Always follow institutional protocols and surgeon preferences for suture selection.)
