Bison synthetic absorbable sutures are prepared from Glomar 631, a synthetic polyester composed of glycoside (60%), diolamine (14%), and trim ethylene carbonate (26%). These sutures are colored violet to increase visibility and are also available undyed. Bison 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.
Excellent Strength and Security: Biosyn monofilament absorbable sutures have the tensile strength needed for the critical wound healing period of about three weeks. Biosyn synthetic sutures are prepared from Gylcomer 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. Biosyn sutures are indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation, subcuticular skin closure and/or ligation including use in ophthalmic surgery.
The advanced extrusion process of the molecule of Gylcomer 631 gives the suture:
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.
