Description

Polysorb™ Suture, Size 5/0, 18", Undyed, P-21 is a synthetic absorbable suture composed of a glycolide/lactide copolymer known as Lactomer. This suture is designed to provide superior tensile strength and secure knot tying capabilities, making it suitable for delicate surgical procedures that require dependable tissue approximation. Its multifilament braided structure ensures flexibility and handling characteristics.

The undyed configuration of this Polysorb suture reduces the presence of foreign pigmentation, which is ideal for applications in aesthetic or superficial closures where visibility is a concern. It maintains its strength for up to 3 weeks, offering reliable support during the critical wound healing phase.

The 18-inch length and P-21 needle type allow precise handling in small or confined anatomical sites, commonly used in plastic, subcuticular, or pediatric procedures. The needle provides consistent penetration with minimal tissue drag due to its precision-honed tip and silicone coating.
