Overview
Polysorb Suture
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. The sutures are colored violet to increase visibility and are also available undyed.
The advanced extrusion process of the molecule of Lactomer 9-1, the exclusive braiding process and coating system, give the suture:
Excellent strength over the critical wound healing period
Excellent knot security
Excellent handling
Predictable absorption profile
Polysorb sutures are indicated for use in soft tissue approximation or ligation and ophthalmic surgery, but not in cardiovascular or neural tissue.
