Maxon synthetic absorbable sutures are made from polyglyconate, a copolymer of glycolic acid and trimethylene carbonate. These sutures are designed for general soft tissue approximation and ligation, including use in pediatric cardiovascular tissue where growth is expected and in peripheral vascular surgery. They are not suitable for use in adult cardiovascular tissue, ophthalmic surgery, microsurgery, or neural tissues.
