Biosyn 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. 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.
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:
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.
