Polycon Suture No. 6 Veterinary Suture 10m – Biocompatible, Absorbable, Antibacterial
Product Description
Polycon surgical suture is a multi-functional, absorbable polyamide suture with an antibacterial coating. This superior suture material restores the integrity of all tissue types: skin, subcutaneous tissue, aponeuroses, muscles, parenchymal organs, and blood vessels. It’s particularly valuable in creating intestinal anastomoses, providing both physical and biological hermeticity.
Key Advantages
- High Biocompatibility: Polyamide offers excellent tissue compatibility and tolerance.
- Gentle Tissue Handling: Minimizes tissue trauma and is rapidly covered by fibrous connective tissue.
- Antibacterial Properties: Exhibits bactericidal action at the suture site.
- Hypoallergenic: No allergic reactions observed.
- Non-Toxic: Free from local and systemic toxicity.
- Exceptional Strength: Two to three times stronger than catgut.
Applications
Polycon sutures are used across all surgical fields, with particular application in veterinary medicine. The different sizes cater to specific needs:
- No. 000 (3): Fine intestinal sutures, tendons, joint capsule sutures, hemostatic ligatures, cosmetic sutures, etc.
- No. 0: Gastric sutures, hemostatic ligatures, gastric skeletonization, muscle sutures, skin sutures, etc.
- No. 2 & No. 4: Hemostatic ligatures for high-pressure venous and arterial vessels, muscle sutures, aponeurotic sutures, etc.
- No. 6, No. 8 & No. 10: Applications requiring high tensile strength, such as adaptive sutures, etc.
Usage Instructions
