Description

Maxon™ Absorbable Suture, TT-20/HGU-46 Taper Needles, Size 0, 30", Green is a synthetic monofilament absorbable suture developed for soft tissue approximation and ligation where extended wound support is required. Manufactured from polyglyconate, a copolymer of glycolic acid and trimethylene carbonate, the suture combines high tensile strength with predictable absorption characteristics. The green coloration enhances visibility during surgical procedures, while the attached TT-20/HGU-46 taper needle is designed for smooth tissue penetration with minimal trauma.

An advanced extrusion process strengthens the molecular structure of the polyglyconate material, providing excellent in vivo strength retention throughout the critical stages of tissue healing. The monofilament construction produces minimal tissue drag and supports consistent passage through delicate tissues. Gradual absorption eliminates the need for suture removal while maintaining dependable wound support during recovery.

The suture is engineered to provide excellent handling characteristics, allowing controlled placement and precise tissue approximation. Superior knot-tying security helps maintain knot integrity under tension, reducing the likelihood of slippage during surgical closure. Minimal memory enables the suture to remain flexible after removal from the package, facilitating easier manipulation and improved operative efficiency.
