Description:


Polysorb Braided Absorbable Sutures
Polysorb sutures are composed of Lactomer glycolide/lactide copolymer, which is a
synthetic polyester composed of glycolide and lactide (derived from glycolic and
lactic acids). They are prepared by coating the suture with a mixture of a caprolactone/
glycolide copolymer and calcium stearoyl lactylate. The sutures are colored violet to
increase visibility and are also available undyed.

The advanced extrusion process of the molecule of Lactomer 9-1, the exclusive
braiding process and coating system, give the suture:

  • Excellent strength over the critical wound healing period
  • Excellent knot security
  • Excellent handling
  • Predictable absorption profile
