Frequently asked questions
Are high-quality materials used in Maxon sutures?
Yes, Medtronic MAXON sutures utilize a high-quality, synthetic absorbable material called Polyglyconate. This monofilament material is a copolymer of glycolic acid and trimethylene carbonate, produced via an advanced extrusion process.
This sophisticated composition gives the sutures superior performance characteristics critical for soft tissue approximation and ligation:
- Excellent In-Vivo Strength Retention: Ensures dependable performance throughout the healing process.
- Superior Handling and Minimal Memory: Allows for easy manipulation and accurate placement by the surgeon.
- Excellent Knot Tying Security: Provides reliable, secure closure.
What are the indicated surgical applications?
These MAXON Monofilament Sutures are indicated for general soft tissue approximation and ligation in various procedures.Specific applications include: * Peripheral vascular surgery. * Use in pediatric cardiovascular tissue where future growth is anticipated.It is critical to note these sutures are NOT indicated for use in adult cardiovascular tissue, ophthalmic surgery, microsurgery, or neural tissues.
Are these sutures absorbable?
Yes, Medtronic Maxon sutures are synthetic and absorbable. They are made from polyglyconate, a material designed to be absorbed by the body over time while maintaining strength during the critical healing period.
