Polysorb™ Braided Absorbable Sutures

Polysorb™ sutures are composed of Lactomer™ glycolide/lactide copolymer, which is a synthetic polyester composed of glycolide and lactide (derived from glycolic and lactic acids). They are prepared by coating the suture with a mixture of a caprolactone/glycolide copolymer and calcium stearoyl lactylate.

In what types of surgical procedures is this suture most commonly used?

This suture is typically used in soft tissue approximation and ligation, including ophthalmic procedures, due to its braided and absorbable properties [Manufacturer Info].

How does this suture perform in terms of tensile strength compared to other absorbable sutures?

Polysorb sutures maintain excellent tensile strength due to their synthetic polyester composition, generally comparing favorably with other absorbable sutures in maintaining wound support [Product Specs][Manufacturer Info].

What is the absorption time for Polysorb sutures and how does it impact wound healing?

Polysorb sutures are fully absorbed by hydrolysis within 56 to 70 days, which supports wound healing by providing extended tissue support during the critical healing period [Product Specs].

Is there a recommended technique for handling and knotting this suture to maintain its tensile strength?

For maintaining tensile strength, it is recommended to use standard surgical knotting techniques without excessive tension to avoid compromising the suture's integrity [Manufacturer Info].

How should these sutures be stored, and do they have a specific shelf life?

These sutures should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight; typically, absorbable sutures like these have a shelf life of 2 to 5 years [Product Specs].

Are there any known reactions associated with the materials in these sutures?
