Maxon, long-term absorbable suture, monofilament, 3-0, premium reverse cutting, P-14 needle, 3/8 circle needle arc, clear offers a reliable solution for general soft tissue approximation and ligation, particularly in paediatric cardiovascular applications where growth is anticipated. Constructed from a unique polyglyconate copolymer of glycolic acid and trimethylene carbonate, this suture provides a delayed absorption profile, allowing for optimal tissue healing over an extended period.
With a tensile strength retention of approximately 75% at two weeks and absorption completion within six months, it meets the needs of healthcare professionals who require dependable suturing in sensitive areas. The uncoated monofilament structure reduces tissue drag, enhancing ease of use during surgical procedures. This suture is suitable for peripheral vascular surgery but is contraindicated in adult cardiovascular tissue and certain other applications, ensuring its targeted effectiveness.
By addressing the challenge of maintaining suture integrity in dynamic tissue environments, Maxon sutures support successful surgical outcomes while adhering to stringent safety standards, including being free from phthalates and latex. The thoughtful design and material selection make this suture a practical choice for healthcare providers focused on patient safety and effective healing.
