Packaging DetailsAbsorbable Surgical Suture U.S.P (Synthetic) CENTISORB Tri-PLUS + Antibacterial Braided Poly (90% Glycolide-Co-L-10% Lactide) 910[Glacomer91] Coated Copolymer Of Glycolide & Lactide [PGLA 370] & Calcium Stearate Characteristics Unique Dependable Construction Excellent Knot Security Smooth passage through tissue Holds Knot Tight Feels , Handles & Grips Right Unique Performance Enquire Now Suture Characteristics Colour Violet or undyed Raw Material Copolymer of Poly(90% glycolide-co-10% lactide) (PGA-PLA) Coating Copolymer of Glycolide, Calcium Sterate & Triclosan Material type Synthetic, braided, coated Absorption With simple hydrolysis, after approximately 60-70 days. Characteristics High initial tensile strength, good tissue compliance Application CENTISORB Tri-PLUS are intended for use in general soft tissue approximation and /or ligation, except in ophthalmic surgery, neurological tissues. The safety and effectiveness of CENTISORB Tri-PLUS sutures in cardiovascular tissue have not been established. Wound support Excellent Tensile strength The tensile strength of the suture progressive loss occurs as a result of a hydrolysis process that degrades the PGLA allowing the absorption & subsequent metabolism by the organism. The absorption of the surgical suture is practically complete in about 56-70 days after implantation. Knotting strength Excellent Tissue reaction Minimal Sterilisation Ethylene oxide Shelf life 5 years Standard sizes USP size 8/0 to 2 Packaging One, two or three dozens
