Description
The Medtronic BIOSYN™ Absorbable Suture offers high-performance monofilament absorbable suturing designed for soft tissue approximation and ligation. Made from a synthetic polyester blend of glycolide, dioxanone, and trimethylene carbonate, BIOSYN™ sutures provide reliable strength, predictable absorption, and smooth tissue passage, helping reduce tissue trauma during surgical procedures.
This specific configuration features Size 4-0 suture, 18-inch (45 cm) length, and a P-12 premium reverse cutting needle, providing optimal control, precision, and secure tissue handling. The sutures are undyed, making them suitable for applications where natural tissue color is preferred or visibility of the suture must be minimized.
