VIAMAC USP 2, 90cm Strand, 1/2 Taper Cut, 35mm Needle

Description

Features and Benefits

• indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation
• the pure polyglycolic acid formulation produces a suture with uniform diameter and a coating that bonds naturally to the thread, thus reducing surface friction and tissue trauma.
• gives maximum support through the critical first few days of wound support followed by a predictable absorption profile.
• elicits a minimal acute inflammatory reaction in tissues, which is followed by gradual encapsulation of the suture by fibrous connective tissue.
• retains approximately 65% of the original tensile strength at 2 weeks post-implantation
• retains between 40% and 30% (7/0 and larger) tensile strength at 3 weeks post-implantation
• all of the original tensile strength is lost between 4 and 5 weeks post-implantation.
• absorption is essentially complete between 56 and 70 days.
