Description

Suture, Polysyn FA 5-0 Undyed 1X18 P-3 is a synthetic, absorbable, braided suture composed of Polyglycolic Acid (PGA). It is designed for short-term wound support, offering predictable absorption and controlled tensile strength retention. The undyed composition reduces the risk of tissue staining, making it suitable for delicate surgical procedures. The suture maintains 50% of its original tensile strength at five days, with complete strength loss by day 14.

This suture is equipped with a Reverse Cutting Needle, designed to penetrate tough, fibrous tissues with minimal trauma. The cutting edge enhances efficiency in tissue approximation by facilitating precise placement with reduced resistance. The needle is manufactured from high-quality stainless steel, ensuring durability and sharpness throughout multiple passes.

Polysyn FA 5-0 is a braided suture, enhancing handling characteristics and knot security. The fine structure allows smooth passage through tissue, reducing friction and tissue drag. Its absorbable nature makes it ideal for procedures requiring short-term support, particularly in superficial tissue closures.
