Maxon long-term absorbable suture, monofilament, 2-0, reverse cutting, GS-10 needle, 1/2 circle needle arc, clear, is designed for effective use in general soft tissue approximation and ligation, particularly in paediatric cardiovascular tissue where growth is anticipated. Crafted from a unique blend of polyglyconate, a copolymer of glycolic acid and trimethylene carbonate, this suture offers an extended absorption profile of up to 180 days, ensuring optimal in-vivo strength retention for approximately 42 days.
The monofilament structure enhances knot tying security and handling ease, while its clear material allows for better visibility during procedures. This suture is particularly suited for scenarios where traditional sutures may not provide the necessary support, such as in delicate paediatric surgeries. However, it is important to note that it should not be used in adult cardiovascular tissue or for permanent prosthetic fixation.
With a shelf life of five years and free from phthalates, PVC, and latex, this suture meets stringent CE marking standards, making it a reliable choice for healthcare professionals. Its excellent handling and minimal memory characteristics facilitate precision in surgical applications.
