Resorba Glycolon Suture 4/0 with DSM 18 18mm 3/8 Circle Premium Reverse Cutting Needle 70cm Violet (24)

Resorba Glycolon Suture 4/0 with DSM 18 18mm 3/8 Circle Premium Reverse Cutting Needle 70cm Violet (24) The production of Glycolon involves the copolymerisation of polyglycolic acid and e-caprolactone in a certain ratio. The breakdown of the polymeric suture in the tissue occurs through water uptake, thereby reversing the synthesis. The strength of Glycolon reduces to 30 % after 7 days. The completely safe intermediary products that are formed, as well as the smooth, monofilament surface structure of the thread, result in minimal tissue reaction. The smooth, monofilament surface structures of the polymer give Glycolon excellent handling and tissue passage properties. Tissue trauma as a result of suturing is not relevant to Glycolon, and the monofilament structure prevents wicking of the thread without the need for additional surface treatment. Features > Short term absorbable monofilament > High tensile strength > High tear resistance > Smooth atraumatic tissue passage > Minimised tissue trauma > Excellent knot security Specifications Description: Resorba Glycolon Suture 4/0 with DSM 18 18mm 3/8 Circle Premium Reverse Cutting Needle 70cm Violet (24) Brand: Resorba Glycolon Suture Size: 4/0 Length: 70cm Colour: Violet Material Composition: Polyglycolic acid and e-caprolactone Category: Wound Closure Quantity Per Box: 24 Absorbability: Absorbable Absorption Rate: 70 days Needle Name: DSM 18 Needle Length (mm): 18mm Needle Point Type: 3/8 Circle Premium Reverse Cutting
