Biosyn™ Suture
Biosyn™ synthetic absorbable sutures are prepared from Glycomer™ 631, a synthetic polyester composed of glycolide (60%), dioxanone (14%), and trimethylene carbonate (26%). These sutures are colored violet to increase visibility and are also available undyed.
The advance extrusion process of the molecule of Glycomer™ 631 gives the suture: • Excellent initial strength • Excellent in-vivo strength over the critical wound healing period • Excellent knot security • Minimal memory for handling ease
Biosyn™ sutures are indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation including use in ophthalmic surgery, but not for use in cardiovascular or neurological surgery.
This suture, being absorbable, should not be used where extended approximation of tissue is required. Biosyn™ with Reverse Cutting Needles
