Description

Medtronic/Minimally Invasive Therapies Group Suture, Blunt Point, Size 1, Violet, 5x18", Needle BGS-25, ½ Circle, 1 dz/bx . BIOSYN synthetic absorbable sutures are prepared from a synthetic polyester, GLYCOMER 631, composed of glycolide (60%), dioxanone (14%) and trimethylene carbonate (26%). The advanced extrusion process of the molecule of GLYCOMER 631 gives the suture: Excellent initial strength; Excellent in-vivo strength over the critical wound healing period; Excellent knot security; Minimal memory for handling ease. BIOSYN synthetic absorbable sutures are indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation including use in ophthalmic surgery, but not for use in cardiovascular or neurological surgery.

  • Exceptional Knot Security: An advanced extrusion process ensures reliable knot performance, which is vital during critical wound healing.
  • Superior Handling: The monofilament design features minimal memory, making the suture easier for the surgical professional to handle and place accurately.
  • Excellent In-Vivo Strength: The GLYCOMER 631 synthetic polyester composition maintains excellent strength retention throughout the critical period of wound healing.
  • Versatile Application: These sutures are indicated for general soft tissue approximation and ligation, including specialized use in ophthalmic surgery.
What specific needle type is included with the sutures?

The Medtronic Biosyn sutures are supplied with a specialized Blunt Point needle. This configuration is designated as the BGS-25 needle and features a ½ Circle curvature. The Blunt Point design is suitable for general soft tissue approximation and ligation, and is particularly appropriate for ophthalmic surgery.

Are these sutures absorbable?

As absorbable sutures, Biosyn sutures are designed to be absorbed by the body over time. The GLYCOMER 631 material is broken down through hydrolysis.

Do Biosyn sutures have minimal memory for ease of handling?

Yes, Biosyn sutures offer minimal memory, contributing to ease of handling during surgical procedures.
