Description

Polysyn 5-0 Undyed Suture is a synthetic, absorbable surgical suture designed for precise wound closure with minimal tissue reaction. It is composed of a polyglycolic acid-based copolymer, ensuring reliable tensile strength and controlled absorption. The undyed composition provides enhanced cosmetic outcomes, particularly in superficial and delicate procedures.

The suture is equipped with a Reverse Cutting Needle, which features a sharp cutting edge designed to penetrate dense and fibrous tissues efficiently. This needle type enhances precision in suturing areas where tissue resistance is higher, such as skin closures and oral surgery. The proprietary coating of the suture reduces tissue drag, allowing for smooth passage through tissues and improved handling characteristics.

Polysyn 5-0 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, minimizing the risk of long-term foreign body reactions. The absorption process is predictable, ensuring sufficient wound support throughout the healing period.
