Maxon long-term absorbable suture, monofilament, 3-0, reverse cutting, GS-10 needle, 1/2 circle needle arc, clear offers a reliable solution for soft tissue approximation and ligation, particularly in paediatric cardiovascular applications. Designed with a unique polymer chemistry of polyglyconate, a copolymer of glycolic acid and trimethylene carbonate, this suture provides extended in-vivo strength retention for up to 42 days, allowing for effective healing while gradually absorbing over 180 days.
The reverse cutting needle design enhances precision during procedures, making it suitable for delicate tissue handling. Its uncoated structure ensures excellent knot tying security and minimal memory, facilitating straightforward suturing even in challenging environments. This suture is particularly beneficial in paediatric cases where tissue growth is anticipated, addressing the common challenge of ensuring proper healing without the need for permanent fixation. Notably, it is contraindicated in adult cardiovascular tissue and should not be used for permanent prostheses.
Maxon sutures meet CE marking standards and are free from phthalates, PVC, and latex, ensuring safety for sensitive patients. This product stands out for its combination of strength and absorbability, making it an essential tool in surgical settings. With its advanced design and materials, Maxon sutures are ideal for healthcare professionals seeking dependable solutions for complex surgical procedures.
