Frequently asked questions
Are these sutures approved for soft tissue approximation?
Yes, these Medtronic Biosyn sutures are specifically indicated for general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, and they are also suitable for use in ophthalmic surgery.
Constructed from GLYCOMER 631, a synthetic absorbable polyester, these monofilament sutures offer significant benefits for reliable wound closure:
- Excellent Strength: They provide outstanding initial tensile strength and maintain excellent in-vivo strength retention during the critical wound healing period.
- Superior Handling: Features include superior knot security and minimal memory, which improves ease of handling.
Important Limitation: These sutures are explicitly contraindicated for use in cardiovascular or neurological surgery.
Are these sutures made with advanced GLYCOMER 631 material?
Yes, these Medtronic Biosyn monofilament sutures are made from the specialized, synthetic absorbable polyester compound known as GLYCOMER 631.
This advanced material is formulated for optimal performance in general soft tissue approximation and ligation procedures. The GLYCOMER 631 compound consists of:
- Glycolide (60%)
- Dioxanone (14%)
- Trimethylene Carbonate (26%)
This unique composition delivers critical performance benefits to surgeons:
- Superior Strength: Offers excellent initial tensile strength and maintains robust in-vivo strength throughout the critical wound healing period.
- Excellent Knot Security: Ensures dependable and secure knot tying.
- Minimal Memory: Facilitates exceptional ease of handling during placement.
Do Biosyn sutures offer reliable absorption?
Yes, Medtronic Biosyn sutures are synthetic, absorbable monofilament devices engineered for reliable performance and predictable absorption.
They are composed of GLYCOMER 631, a specialized synthetic polyester blend (60% glycolide, 14% dioxanone, and 26% trimethylene carbonate).
Key features ensuring reliability include:
- Predictable Profile: The GLYCOMER 631 composition ensures consistent and predictable absorption characteristics.
- Excellent Strength: They maintain superior initial and in-vivo tensile strength throughout the critical wound healing phase.
- Superior Handling: The sutures offer excellent knot security and exhibit minimal memory, facilitating easier handling during procedures.
What sizes and colors are available?
The Biosyn Monofilament Sutures are offered in a wide range of sizes and configurations for general soft tissue approximation and ligation.
- Available Sizes: The sutures are available in sizes ranging from 4-0 up to Size 1 (including 4-0, 3-0, 2-0, 0, and 1).
- Color Options: The standard color is Violet. An Undyed option is also listed, though specific color availability varies by size configuration.
- Length and Packaging: These are pre-cut sutures, typically in 18-inch lengths. They are packaged in boxes of either 2 dozen (dz/bx) or 3 dozen (dz/bx) units.
Are the sutures dyed for better visibility?
Yes, the Medtronic Biosyn Monofilament Absorbable Sutures are offered in two distinct color options to optimize visibility based on surgical requirements:
- Violet: This colored option enhances contrast against soft tissue, significantly improving visibility and aiding in precise placement and tracking.
- Undyed: This option provides minimal visibility, which is often preferred in procedures where cosmetic results are a priority or when visibility is not a necessary factor.
Are the sutures conveniently pre-cut?
Yes, these Medtronic Biosyn Monofilament Sutures are supplied in a pre-cut configuration, which greatly enhances efficiency and minimizes preparation time during surgical procedures.
This feature complements the overall design, which uses an advanced extrusion process to achieve superior handling and minimal memory, ensuring excellent knot security.
Pre-Cut Specifications
- Length: Individual strands are typically pre-cut to 18 inches.
- Packaging: Sutures are available in box configurations containing either 2 dozen (24) or 3 dozen (36) pre-cut strands, allowing you to select the appropriate volume for your operational needs.
What pre-cut lengths and quantities are available?
The Biosyn Monofilament Sutures are provided in convenient pre-cut formats to optimize surgical efficiency. All strands are pre-cut to a consistent length of 18 inches.
They are supplied in boxes containing one of the following quantities:
- 2 dozen (24 individual sutures)
- 3 dozen (36 individual sutures)
Do Biosyn sutures offer excellent initial strength?
Yes, Medtronic Biosyn Monofilament Absorbable Pre-Cut Sutures are designed with excellent initial strength to provide reliable tissue support during the crucial initial wound healing period. They also feature excellent knot security to minimize slippage and minimal memory for easy handling and precise placement. These sutures are made from GLYCOMER 631, a synthetic absorbable material, eliminating the need for suture removal.
