Description

MAXON and MAXON CV synthetic absorbable sutures are prepared from polyglyconate, a copolymer of glycolic acid and trimethylene carbonate
MAXON and MAXON CV synthetic absorbable sutures are indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, including use in pediatric cardiovascular tissue, where growth is expected to occur, and in peripheral vascular surgery
MAXON and MAXON CV synthetic absorbable sutures are not indicated for use in adult cardiovascular tissue, ophthalmic surgery, microsurgery and neural tissues
MAXON sutures retain approximately 75% of initial tensile strength at two weeks, 65% of at three weeks and 50% at four weeks post-implant
Absorption of MAXON sutures is minimal until about 60 days after implant and is essentially complete within six months
This product is required to be reported under California Proposition 65

Frequently asked questions

How long does this suture maintain its strength?

The Maxon suture is engineered for extended support, retaining approximately 75% of its initial tensile strength at two weeks and 50% at four weeks post-implant.

Is this suitable for pediatric surgeries?

Yes, it is specifically designed for pediatric applications, including cardiovascular and peripheral vascular surgery, where predictable absorption is essential to accommodate tissue growth.

When is the absorption process completed?

The suture maintains its structural integrity with minimal absorption until 60 days, with absorption being essentially complete within six months.

What type of tissue is this suture intended for?

This suture is indicated for general soft tissue approximation and ligation. Please note it is not intended for use in adult cardiovascular tissue, ophthalmic surgery, microsurgery, or neural tissues.

Is this product considered sterile?

Yes, the Maxon Polyglyconate Suture is provided as a sterile, factory-new medical device ready for professional surgical use.

Does this needle provide precise tissue penetration?

Yes, it features a P-12 3/8 circle precision reverse cutting needle, which is engineered to ensure controlled and accurate tissue penetration during surgical procedures.

What material is this suture made from?

It is a synthetic, monofilament suture crafted from a copolymer of glycolic acid and trimethylene carbonate, providing excellent handling characteristics and reliable strength.

How many strands are included in the box?

Each unit contains 36 strands of the 3-0 size suture, each pre-attached to its own 19 mm P-12 needle.

Does this suture require a special coating?

No, this specific configuration is uncoated, relying on the advanced properties of the monofilament polyglyconate material for its performance.

What is the length of the included needle?

The P-12 precision reverse cutting needle included with these 3-0 sutures has a length of 19 mm and follows a 3/8 circle geometry.
