GLYCOMER, 631 Monofilament Absorbable Sutures. BIOSYN? synthetic absorbable sutures are prepared from a synthetic polyester, GLYCOMER 631, composed of glycolide (60%), dioxanone(14%) and trimethylene carbonate (26%).
The advanced extrusion process of the molecule of GYLCOMER 631 gives the suture:
BIOSYN synthetic absorbable sutures are indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation including use in ophthalmic surgery, but not for use in cardiovascular or neurological surgery.
This suture, being absorbable, should not be used where extended approximation of tissue is required.
