Frequently asked questions
Do these sutures offer predictable absorption?
Yes, these Medtronic Polysorb sutures are designed to offer predictable absorption.
They are classified as synthetic absorbable sutures and are composed of LACTOMER glycolide/lactide copolymer, which ensures reliable temporary wound support and subsequent smooth absorption.
Do these sutures offer superior handling and knot security?
Yes, these Polysorb sutures are specifically engineered for excellent handling and superior knot security, ensuring reliable wound closure.
This high performance is achieved through a combination of proprietary features:
- Exclusive Braiding Process: The specialized braiding technique optimizes the physical structure of the suture, leading to superior knot security.
- Advanced Coating System: The suture is prepared with a coating of caprolactone/glycolide copolymer and calcium stearoyl lactylate. This coating enhances handling properties, allowing for smooth tissue passage and improved surgical control.
These features, combined with the LACTOMER material, ensure high strength retention throughout the critical initial wound healing period.
Are high-quality LACTOMER sutures used?
Yes, these Medtronic Polysorb sutures are constructed from LACTOMER™ glycolide/lactide copolymer. This synthetic polyester is derived from glycolic and lactic acids, forming the core material.
To enhance performance, the sutures feature an advanced coating system consisting of a mixture of caprolactone/glycolide copolymer and calcium stearoyl lactylate.
This composition and manufacturing process ensure several performance advantages critical to wound healing:
- Predictable Absorption Profile: Offers reliable and timely absorption after the critical healing period.
- Excellent Strength Retention: Maintains sufficient tensile strength throughout the necessary initial healing phase.
- Superior Handling and Security: Provides excellent handling characteristics and exceptional knot security.
What are the surgical indications?
The Medtronic Polysorb Coated Synthetic Absorbable Sutures are precision-engineered for reliable performance in specific surgical settings, delivering excellent strength and predictable absorption.
Primary Indications:
- Soft tissue approximation or ligation: Used for general soft tissue closure where temporary support is required.
- Ophthalmic surgery: Suitable for various procedures involving the eye.
These high-quality sutures are made from LACTOMER glycolide/lactide copolymer.
Important Contraindication:
These sutures are explicitly not indicated for use in cardiovascular or neural tissue applications.
What versatile suture lengths are available?
Yes, these Medtronic Polysorb Size 4-0 sutures are available in several configurations to support various surgical needs, such as soft tissue approximation and ophthalmic procedures.
The available lengths and packaging formats include:
- Individual Strands: 18 inches and 30 inches.
- Multi-Strand Packs: 5 x 18 inches (five 18-inch sutures per pack) and 5 x 30 inches (five 30-inch sutures per pack).
What specialized coating enhances handling?
The Medtronic Polysorb sutures feature an advanced coating system applied through an exclusive braiding and coating process, which significantly enhances performance and handling.
This specialized coating is composed of a precise mixture of:
- Caprolactone/glycolide copolymer
- Calcium stearoyl lactylate
This unique combination provides excellent handling properties and ensures superior knot security during soft tissue approximation and ligation procedures.
What colors are available for these sutures?
Medtronic Polysorb sutures are available in two color options: Undyed and Violet.
Is the suture only available in size 4-0?
Yes, the Medtronic Polysorb sutures are universally available in Size 4-0 across all configurations. This synthetic absorbable size is designed for use in soft tissue approximation, ligation, and ophthalmic surgery.
What are the available needle curvatures?
The Medtronic Polysorb sutures are available with two primary needle curvature options, supporting various surgical approaches:
- ½ Circle
- 3/8 Circle
What are the available packaging options?
These Medtronic Polysorb sutures are packaged in several configurations to meet various volume needs, depending on the specific variant (color, length, and needle type) selected.
Specific packaging options available include:
- 1 dozen (12) sutures per box
- 3 dozen (36) sutures per box
- 3 dozen (36) sutures per case
