Polycon #8 Veterinary Surgical Suture (10m), Bioresorbable, Antibacterial

Product Description

Polycon surgical suture is a multi-functional, bioresorbable polyamide thread with an antibacterial coating. This superior veterinary suture effectively repairs various tissues including skin, subcutaneous tissue, aponeuroses, muscles, parenchymal organs, and blood vessels. Its exceptional strength and biocompatibility make it particularly valuable for creating intestinal anastomoses, ensuring both physical and biological sealing.

Key Advantages

• High Biocompatibility: Polyamide exhibits excellent tissue tolerance.
• Gentle Tissue Handling: Minimizes tissue trauma and promotes rapid fibrous tissue coverage.
• Antibacterial Properties: Reduces infection risk at the suture site.
• Hypoallergenic: Minimizes allergic reactions.
• Non-Toxic: Free from local and systemic toxicity.
• Superior Strength: Two to three times stronger than catgut.

Polycon sutures are widely used in various surgical fields, particularly veterinary surgery. The different sizes cater to diverse needs:

• #000 (3): Fine intestinal sutures, tendons, joint capsule sutures, hemostatic ligatures, and cosmetic sutures.
• #0: Gastric sutures, hemostatic ligatures, gastric skeletonization, muscle sutures, and skin sutures.
• #2 & #4: Hemostatic ligatures for high-pressure venous and arterial vessels, muscle sutures, and aponeurotic sutures.
