Frequently asked questions
Does this suture offer reliable tensile strength?
Yes, this suture is engineered for high performance. It retains approximately 75% of its initial tensile strength at two weeks, which ensures secure wound support during the critical early stages of the healing process.
Is the absorption profile ideal for long-term support?
The Maxon suture is specifically designed for stability. It minimizes absorption until 60 days post-implant and achieves complete absorption within six months, making it an excellent choice for tissues requiring consistent, extended support.
Does the monofilament structure provide smooth handling?
Absolutely. The monofilament design ensures excellent handling characteristics and, because it is uncoated, it creates minimal tissue drag during placement for a smoother surgical experience.
Is the precision reverse cutting needle effective?
The P-13 needle is specifically engineered for professional surgical use. It features:
- A 13 mm length for precision.
- A 3/8 circle curvature for optimal access.
- Reverse cutting geometry designed for accurate tissue penetration and reduced trauma.
What is the primary material used in this suture?
This suture is crafted from Polyglyconate, which is a synthetic copolymer of glycolic acid and trimethylene carbonate. This advanced material provides the strength and absorbability required for high-quality surgical outcomes.
Is this product suitable for pediatric cardiovascular use?
Yes, the Maxon suture is specifically indicated for use in pediatric cardiovascular procedures where tissue growth is expected, as well as in general soft tissue approximation and peripheral vascular surgery.
Are there specific tissue types to avoid using this on?
For patient safety, these sutures are not indicated for the following:
- Adult cardiovascular tissue
- Ophthalmic surgery
- Microsurgery
- Neural tissues
What is the total length of the suture strand?
Each suture strand in the pack measures 18 inches in length, providing sufficient material for standard surgical approximations and ligations.
How many sutures come in each package?
Each unit includes a convenient 36-strand package, with each strand featuring its own integrated P-13 precision reverse cutting needle.
Is this suture sterile and ready for the operating room?
Yes, all Maxon sutures are delivered sterile and are factory-new, ensuring they meet the necessary standards for clinical and surgical environments.
