Maxon, long-term absorbable suture, monofilament, 4-0, reverse cutting, C-14 needle, 3/8 circle needle arc, clear is designed specifically for general soft tissue approximation and ligation, particularly in pediatric cardiovascular applications where growth is anticipated. Crafted from a unique blend of polyglyconate, glycolic acid, and trimethylene carbonate, this synthetic absorbable suture ensures an extended absorption profile, maintaining in-vivo strength for up to 42 days while being fully absorbed within 180 days.
The monofilament structure provides excellent knot security and handling, reducing the risk of complications during delicate procedures. Furthermore, its clear colour allows for better visibility during surgery, making it a practical choice for surgeons. Recommended for use in peripheral vascular tissues, this suture is contraindicated for adult cardiovascular applications and areas requiring permanent fixation. It is essential for healthcare professionals to be aware of patient sensitivities to its components, as well as proper storage conditions to maintain its integrity.
With a shelf life of five years and compliance with CE marking standards, Maxon sutures offer reliable performance for a variety of surgical needs.
