Description

Medtronic Biosyn Monofilament Absorbable Conventional Cutting Sutures. 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.

Frequently asked questions

Are these sutures suitable for general soft tissue approximation?

Yes, Medtronic Biosyn Monofilament Absorbable Sutures are specifically indicated for general soft tissue approximation and ligation. They are also suitable for use in ophthalmic surgery.

Constructed from the synthetic polyester blend GLYCOMER 631, these sutures offer several advantages for surgeons:

  • Strength: Provides excellent initial strength and reliable in-vivo strength retention throughout the critical wound healing period.
  • Handling: Features minimal memory, contributing to superior ease of handling.
  • Security: Engineered for excellent knot security.

Important Limitation: These sutures are explicitly not indicated for use in cardiovascular or neurological surgical procedures.

What is the GLYCOMER 631 material composition?

The Medtronic Biosyn sutures are made from GLYCOMER 631, a high-performance synthetic absorbable monofilament polyester created via an advanced extrusion process. This material is precisely formulated to ensure predictable absorption and superior performance.

GLYCOMER 631 is composed of the following polymers:

Component Percentage
Glycolide 60%
Dioxanone 14%
Trimethylene Carbonate 26%

This optimized formulation provides excellent initial tensile strength, strong in-vivo retention during critical healing, and offers superior handling characteristics due to minimal memory and excellent knot security.

Are Biosyn sutures absorbable and monofilament?

Yes, Medtronic Biosyn sutures are synthetic absorbable and are made from monofilament GLYCOMER 631. This material is designed to provide predictable absorption and excellent handling ease.

What professional sizes and configurations are available?

The Medtronic Biosyn Monofilament Absorbable Sutures are currently offered in two specific configurations indicated for general soft tissue approximation and ligation:

  • Size 4-0: Undyed, 18-inch length, using a Conventional Cutting PC-13 needle (3/8 Circle).
  • Size 5-0: Undyed, 18-inch length, using a Conventional Cutting PC-13 needle (3/8 Circle).

Both configurations are made from GLYCOMER 631 synthetic polyester and are packaged in boxes containing 2 dozen sutures (2 dz/bx).

How many sutures are included per box?

Each box of Medtronic Biosyn Monofilament Absorbable Conventional Cutting Sutures contains 2 dozen (24 units). This packaging quantity is standard across all available sizes and configurations.

What are the needle specifications?

The Medtronic Biosyn sutures feature a Conventional Cutting needle, designed for efficient penetration and precise soft tissue approximation. The specific specifications are as follows:

  • Designation: PC-13
  • Curvature: 3/8 Circle

This specific needle and suture combination is widely indicated for general soft tissue approximation and ligation, including use in ophthalmic surgery.

Is the suture thread length 18 inches?

Yes, the thread length for the Medtronic Biosyn Monofilament Absorbable Sutures is consistently 18 inches across all available size variants (Size 4-0 and Size 5-0).

Do these sutures offer excellent tensile strength?

Yes, Medtronic Biosyn Monofilament Sutures are specifically engineered to provide an excellent strength profile that supports reliable wound closure and healing.

This high performance is derived from the advanced synthetic polyester composition, GLYCOMER 631, which delivers several key advantages:

  • Excellent Initial Strength: Ensures secure and immediate tissue approximation.
  • Robust In-Vivo Strength Retention: Maintains reliable tensile strength throughout the critical post-operative healing period.
  • Superior Handling: In addition to strength, the material exhibits minimal memory, enhancing ease of handling and contributing to excellent knot security during procedures.
