Description

Medtronic Polysorb Coated Synthetic Absorbable Size 3-0 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

Are these sutures suitable for all tissue types?

Medtronic Polysorb sutures are specifically designed for soft tissue approximation or ligation and ophthalmic surgery. They are not intended for use in cardiovascular or neural tissue.

What high-quality materials are these sutures made of?

The Medtronic Polysorb sutures are constructed using advanced, high-quality materials:

  • Core Material: The thread is made from LACTOMER glycolide/lactide copolymer, a synthetic polyester derived from glycolic and lactic acids. The unique LACTOMER 9-1 molecule structure ensures the suture maintains excellent strength throughout the critical wound healing period.
  • Coating: These sutures feature a specialized coating composed of a mixture of caprolactone/glycolide copolymer and calcium stearoyl lactylate. This preparation delivers superior handling properties and contributes to excellent knot security.
Is this suture available in size 3-0?

Yes, these Medtronic Polysorb Coated Synthetic Absorbable Sutures are consistently manufactured and supplied in Size 3-0. This specific size is uniform across all available configurations and variants, including different needle types and lengths.

Do these sutures offer superior strength and handling?

Yes, Medtronic Polysorb sutures are specifically engineered for optimal surgical performance, prioritizing strength, security, and handling.

Key performance characteristics are derived from their advanced composition and manufacturing process:

  • Advanced Material: They are made from LACTOMER glycolide/lactide copolymer (a synthetic polyester), offering predictable absorption.
  • Enhanced Coating: The suture is coated with a proprietary mixture of caprolactone/glycolide copolymer and calcium stearoyl lactylate for improved performance.
  • Excellent Strength Retention: The advanced construction maintains excellent in-vivo strength throughout the critical wound healing period.
  • Superior Handling and Knot Security: An exclusive braiding and coating system provides superior handling characteristics and ensures excellent knot security.

These features make the sutures highly effective for general soft tissue approximation, ligation, and ophthalmic surgery.

Does this suture have a predictable absorption profile?

Yes, these Medtronic Polysorb sutures are designed to offer a predictable absorption profile.

They are made from LACTOMER glycolide/lactide copolymer, a synthetic polyester that provides a known and reliable rate of absorption throughout the wound healing period.

Do these sutures feature a specialized coating for superior handling?

Yes, the Medtronic Polysorb sutures feature a specialized coating system designed to enhance performance, handling, and security. This is one of the key selling points of the product.

Coating Composition:

  • Caprolactone/glycolide copolymer
  • Calcium stearoyl lactylate

Key Performance Benefits:
This advanced coating works alongside the exclusive LACTOMER braiding process to deliver:

  • Superior Handling Characteristics: Facilitating smooth passage and manipulation during procedures.
  • Reliable Knot Security: Ensuring the knots remain secure.
  • Excellent Strength Retention: Maintaining tensile strength throughout the critical wound healing phase.
What are the packaging quantities available?

The Medtronic Polysorb sutures are available in several standard configurations based on dozens per box to meet various clinical demands. The available packaging quantities are:

  • 1 dozen per box (1 dz/bx)
  • 2 dozen per box (2 dz/bx)
  • 3 dozen per box (3 dz/bx)
What Taper Point needle configurations are offered?

The Medtronic Polysorb sutures feature Taper Point needles, engineered for effective soft tissue approximation and ligation with minimal trauma. The available configurations vary by specific needle code and curvature (shape):

1. Needle Shapes (Curvatures):

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

2. Specific Taper Point Needle Codes:
The variety of available codes includes: V-20 115Q, V-20 103Q, GS-21, GS-22, GS-24, V-30, V-20 NDL, V-26, CV-25, CV-13, CV-23, GU-46, and CV-15.

What are the available suture lengths?

The Medtronic Polysorb sutures are offered in a wide range of lengths and specialized packaging configurations suitable for various surgical procedures.

The available lengths and formats include:

  • 30 inches
  • 36 inches
  • 48 inches
  • 60 inches
  • 5x18 inches
  • 5x30 inches
Are various color options available?

The Polysorb sutures come in two distinct color options, allowing surgeons to choose based on preference and visualization needs:

  • Undyed: A natural, neutral color option.
  • Violet: This color provides high contrast for easier visibility during soft tissue and ophthalmic procedures.
