Description

Medtronic Polysorb Coated Synthetic Absorbable Size 2-0 Taper Point Sutures. Composed of LACTOMER glycolide/lactide copolymer which is a synthetic polyester composed of glycolide and lactide derived from glycolic and lactic acids. POLYSORB sutures are prepared by coating the suture with a mixture of caprolactone/glycolide copolymer and calcium stearoyl lactylate. The advanced extrusion process of the molecule of LACTOMER 9-1, the exclusive braiding process and coating system give the suture: Excellent strength over the critical wound healing period; Excellent knot security; Excellent handling; Predictable absorption profile. POLYSORB sutures are indicated for use in soft tissue approximation or ligation and ophthalmic surgery, but not in cardiovascular or neural tissue.

Frequently asked questions

What high-quality synthetic material is used?

The Medtronic Polysorb sutures are made from an advanced, high-quality synthetic system designed for reliable performance in soft tissue approximation:

  • Core Suture Material: The base of the suture is LACTOMER glycolide/lactide copolymer. This synthetic polyester is responsible for maintaining excellent strength retention during the critical wound healing phase.
  • Specialized Coating: The suture is coated with a mixture of caprolactone/glycolide copolymer and calcium stearoyl lactylate.

This proprietary material system ensures superior handling, enhanced knot security, and a predictable absorption profile.

Which surgical procedures are these sutures indicated for?

These Medtronic Polysorb sutures are high-performance, synthetic absorbable materials specifically engineered for reliable use during the critical wound healing period. They are made from LACTOMER glycolide/lactide copolymer and feature an advanced coating for superior handling and dependable knot security.

The primary indications for use are:

  • Soft tissue approximation or ligation
  • Ophthalmic surgery

Important Contraindication: These sutures are explicitly NOT indicated for use in cardiovascular or neural tissue.

Do these sutures offer superior handling and security?

Yes, these Medtronic Polysorb sutures are engineered to provide excellent handling and superior knot security throughout the procedure. This high performance is a result of their advanced construction:

  • Enhanced Handling: An advanced extrusion process combined with an exclusive braiding and coating system gives the sutures excellent handling characteristics, making them easy to manipulate.
  • Superior Knot Security: The manufacturing design ensures reliable, superior security for surgical knots.
  • Material Composition: The LACTOMER glycolide/lactide copolymer base, coated with a specific polymer mixture, contributes to smooth tissue passage and reliable tensile strength retention over the critical wound healing period.
What needle curvature options are available?

The Medtronic Polysorb Coated Synthetic Absorbable Sutures are offered in several needle curvatures to suit various surgical needs. These options, which depend on the specific product variant selected, include:

  • ½ Circle
  • 3/8 Circle
  • 5/8 Circle

These different curvatures are part of the comprehensive configurations available for soft tissue approximation, ligation, and ophthalmic surgery.

Is the absorption profile of these sutures predictable?

Yes, the Medtronic Polysorb sutures are specifically engineered to offer a predictable absorption profile.

This reliability stems from their composition and advanced manufacturing:

  • Material: They are constructed from LACTOMER glycolide/lactide copolymer, a synthetic polyester derived from glycolic and lactic acids.
  • Strength Retention: The sutures provide a predictable strength profile, maintaining excellent tensile strength retention throughout the critical wound healing phase before controlled absorption begins.

This predictable performance makes them suitable for soft tissue approximation, ligation, and ophthalmic surgery.

Is this Polysorb suture available in other sizes?

For this specific product listing, the Medtronic Polysorb Coated Synthetic Absorbable Suture is only available in size 2-0.

While this product offers many configurations based on factors like needle type, color (Violet or Undyed), and length, the core suture size remains 2-0 across all detailed variants.

What colors are available for the sutures?

The Medtronic Polysorb sutures are available in two color options, depending on the specific configuration selected:

  • Violet
  • Undyed
What suture lengths are available?

The Medtronic Polysorb sutures are available in several specific lengths designed to suit different surgical procedures and requirements. These options are part of the various configurations offered for the product.The available lengths include:* 30 inches* 36 inches* 5 x 18 inches* 5 x 30 inches

Are multiple package quantities available?

Yes, the Medtronic Polysorb Coated Synthetic Absorbable Sutures are typically offered in multiple packaging configurations, depending on the specific variant selected.

The common packaging quantities are:

  • 1 dozen per box (1 dz/bx)
  • 3 dozen per box (3 dz/bx)

When ordering, the precise quantity is indicated in the configuration details.

Do these sutures offer predictable absorption?

Yes, the Medtronic Polysorb sutures are specifically designed to offer a predictable absorption profile, making them reliable for procedures requiring temporary wound support.

This benefit stems from the advanced composition:

  • Material: Constructed from LACTOMER glycolide/lactide copolymer (a synthetic polyester).
  • Coating: Features a specialized coating of caprolactone/glycolide copolymer and calcium stearoyl lactylate.

This formulation ensures excellent strength retention during the critical healing phase, followed by a controlled absorption rate.
