Description

Polysyn 3-0 Undyed Suture is a synthetic, absorbable surgical suture designed for optimal wound closure with minimal tissue reaction. It is composed of a polyglycolic acid-based copolymer, ensuring reliable tensile strength and predictable absorption. The undyed composition allows for better aesthetic results, particularly in superficial or cosmetic applications.

The suture is equipped with a Taper Point Needle, which facilitates smooth penetration through delicate tissues while minimizing trauma. This needle design is particularly suitable for internal soft tissue applications, including subcutaneous closures and general surgical procedures. The proprietary coating of the suture reduces tissue drag, allowing for smooth passage through tissues and improving handling characteristics.

Polysyn 3-0 suture retains approximately 50% of its original tensile strength at two weeks post-implantation, decreasing to 20% at three weeks. Complete mass absorption occurs within 50 to 90 days through hydrolysis, reducing the risk of long-term foreign body reactions.
