COVIDIEN Caprosyn synthetic absorbable suture's quick absorption (56 days), durable polymer material and monofilament construction provide smooth passage through tissue, better approximation or ligation, and minimized potentiation of infection. Patients can experience less discomfort during healing, less wound complications and a faster recovery.
The advanced extrusion process of the molecule of Polygytone 6211 gives the suture:
- Strong and secure wound approximation during the critical wound healing period
- Predictable absorption profile
- Excellent handling
- Excellent knot security
Caprosyn sutures are indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, but not for use in cardiovascular or neurological surgery, microsurgery, or ophthalmic surgery.
