Product Overview
Medtronic Mitg - Polysorb - Cl22Mg - Suture, Vio 2-0 18" Gs-24 Dt
The Medtronic Mitg - Polysorb - Cl22Mg - Suture, Vio 2-0 18" Gs-24 Dt is a synthetic, absorbable braided suture designed for secure wound closure in general soft tissue approximation. Made from Polysorb, a copolymer of glycolide and lactide, it provides reliable tensile strength and predictable absorption. The violet-dyed suture enhances visibility during procedures, while the 18-inch length and 24mm reverse-cutting needle ensure precision in suturing.
Key Features:
- Material: Synthetic absorbable Polysorb (glycolide/lactide copolymer)
- Size: 2-0 (USP)
- Length: 18 inches
- Needle: 24mm reverse-cutting (Gs-24 Dt)
- Color: Violet for improved visibility
- Absorption: Gradual hydrolysis, typically absorbed within 56–70 days
- Braided construction: Enhances handling and knot security
Specifications:
- Needle Type: Reverse-cutting
- Needle Length: 24mm
- Suture Diameter: Complies with USP 2-0 standards
- Sterility: Ethylene oxide sterilized, single-use
Suggested Use:
Ideal for general soft tissue closure in procedures requiring moderate wound support, such as subcutaneous layers, gastrointestinal, and obstetric/gynecological surgeries. The reverse-cutting needle minimizes tissue trauma, while the braided design ensures smooth knot tying. Suitable for surgeons prioritizing high tensile strength and controlled absorption. Store in a dry, cool environment and discard after single use.
