Product Overview
The Medtronic MITG - L71 - Suture, Polysorb Vio 4-0 18 Precut 106N is a high-quality, synthetic absorbable suture designed for secure wound closure in various surgical applications. Made from Polysorb, a copolymer of glycolide and lactide, this suture provides excellent tensile strength and predictable absorption, ensuring reliable performance throughout the healing process.
Features:
- Absorbable: Gradually breaks down in the body over time, eliminating the need for suture removal.
- Violet-Colored: Enhances visibility during surgical procedures for precise placement.
- Precut Length: Convenient 18-inch length for ease of use in multiple applications.
- 4-0 Gauge: Optimal balance of strength and minimal tissue reaction for finer closures.
- Synthetic Material: Reduces risk of tissue irritation compared to natural sutures.
- Reliable Knot Security: Ensures stable wound approximation with secure ties.
Specifications:
- Material: Polysorb (Glycolide/Lactide Copolymer)
