Description

Suture, Look Polysyn 5-0 Clear Braided is a synthetic absorbable suture designed for efficient soft tissue approximation and ligation. This suture is composed of polyglycolic acid (PGA) and features a braided structure, ensuring superior handling and knot security. The proprietary coating reduces tissue drag, enhancing passage through delicate tissues while minimizing trauma.

The suture retains approximately 50% of its original tensile strength at two weeks and 20% at three weeks, providing adequate support during the critical healing period. Complete absorption occurs through hydrolysis within 50 to 90 days, ensuring no residual material remains in the tissue. The predictable absorption profile reduces the risk of long-term foreign body reactions, making it an ideal choice for internal surgical applications.

Equipped with a 19 mm reverse cutting needle in a 3/8 circle configuration, this suture is designed for precision in procedures requiring controlled penetration through tough or fibrous tissues. The stainless steel needle maintains sharpness and durability, ensuring efficient suturing with minimal tissue disruption.
