Model Number: L206 Brand Name: RUNTE Key Specifications/Special Features: Absorbable sutures:- Chromic catgut suture, made from collagen, this catgut has more benefits compared to a regular catgut, naturally absorbed by the human body in 90 days- Plain catgut has shorter absorption time which makes this suture ideal for tissues which require short-term wound supported- Polyglycolic acid (PGA) is synthetic surgical suture characterized by exceptional tensile strength and in-vivo inertness- Rapid polyglycolic acid (PGAR) is intended to be used in soft tissues where only short term wound support is required and where rapid absorption of the suture is needed- Polyglactin 910 (PGLA) is suitable for cases in which a predictable absorption and good tensile strength is needed, suture holds its tensile strength for approximately two or three weeks in the tissue- Polydioxanone (PDS) is a monofilament material which can be used in all future sizesThis kind of material is particularly useful when an extended wound support (up to six weeks) is desirable- Poliglecaprone 25 (MO) is monofilament suture, used for soft-tissue approximation and ligationNon absorbable sutures:- Silk sutures: often used to secure drains during a surgery- Nylon sutures: quite durable and is an important option in treating both internal and external wounds
- Polypropylene sutures: useful for cases in e=which high resistance and low loss of tensile strength is required
- Polyester sutures: have optimal handling properties
- Stainless steel wires: indicated for use in abdominal wound closure, hernia repair, sterna closure and orthopedic surgery
