Reliable Absorption and Strength RetentionPolysorb braided absorbable sutures offer a dependable absorption profile, achieving complete absorption within 56-70 days. They maintain robust tensile strength, retaining about 80% at two weeks and approximately 30% at three weeks, providing the necessary support for wound healing during the most crucial periods.
Versatile Needle Options for Surgical FlexibilityAvailable with an array of needle types-including reverse cutting and taper-Polysorb sutures adapt seamlessly to different surgical techniques and tissue types. This range accommodates various practitioner preferences and enhances procedural efficiency.
Designed for Smooth Passage and Minimal ReactionThe braided design, paired with a specialized calcium stearate and poly glycolide-co-lactide coating, ensures the sutures glide smoothly through tissue, minimizing trauma and the risk of adverse reactions. This makes them especially suitable for delicate applications in pediatric and ophthalmic surgeries.
FAQ's of Medtronic - Covidien Polysorb Braided Absorbable Sutures:
Q: How should Polysorb braided absorbable sutures be stored prior to use?
A: Polysorb sutures should be stored below 25C, kept dry, and protected from direct sunlight. Always ensure the packaging remains unopened and intact to maintain sterility until immediately prior to use.
Q: What is the expected absorption timeline for Polysorb sutures in the body?
A: Polysorb sutures undergo complete absorption within 56 to 70 days after implantation. This predictable absorption ensures that the sutures provide adequate support during early wound healing and then are safely absorbed by the body.
Q: When is it appropriate to select Polysorb absorbable sutures for surgical procedures?
A: These sutures are ideal for general soft tissue approximation, including use in pediatric, ophthalmic, and select cardiovascular and neurological surgeries-not for procedures where extended wound support is needed in cardiovascular or neurological tissue.
Q: Where are Polysorb sutures commonly used in medical settings?
A: Polysorb sutures are employed across hospitals, surgical centers, and clinics throughout India and globally. They are chosen for various medical procedures ranging from routine wound closures to specialized soft tissue surgeries.
Q: What benefits do Polysorb braided absorbable sutures provide surgeons and patients?
A: They offer high initial tensile strength, smooth tissue passage, minimal tissue reaction, predictable absorption, and versatile needle types. This combination ensures effective and safe wound closure with reduced risk of complications and the need for suture removal.
Q: How do you ensure the correct size and type of Polysorb suture for a procedure?
A: Polysorb sutures are available in multiple USP sizes (6-0 to 1) and needle types. Selection depends on the surgical site and tissue characteristics-consult the surgical protocol and product catalog to match the most suitable suture to the procedure.
