Description

Suture, Polysyn 3-0 Undyed 1X18 Ps-2 is a synthetic, absorbable monofilament suture designed for precise wound closure with minimal tissue reaction. Its undyed structure allows for better aesthetic outcomes in superficial closures, particularly in dermatological and plastic surgery applications. The proprietary coating reduces tissue drag, ensuring smooth passage through tissue, minimizing trauma, and enhancing surgical efficiency.

The suture is equipped with a precision reverse cutting needle, which provides superior penetration through dense or tough tissues while reducing unnecessary tissue damage. The needle retains sharpness throughout multiple passes, allowing for consistent performance. The 3/8 circle curvature ensures precise placement in delicate or confined surgical areas.

Polysyn 3-0 retains approximately 50% of its tensile strength at two weeks and 20% at three weeks, ensuring temporary wound support during the critical healing phase. Complete mass absorption occurs within 50 to 90 days through hydrolysis, reducing the need for suture removal and lowering the risk of patient discomfort and infection.
