Absorbable Ligating Loop with Suture Surgitie™ with Polysorb™ Polyester Braided Size 0

Features

• The Surgitie™ ligating loop consists of a narrow nylon carrier (3.9 mm O.D.) through which is threaded a 53 cm (21%XE2%X80?) length of absorbable POLYSORB™ suture
• The suture is anchored at the proximal end of the carrier (marked by a black band) and the carrier is scored
• The suture extends from the distal end of the carrier in the form of a loop, having a sliding knot which secures itself when tightened
• A delivery system may be used (5 mm O.D. x 15.24 cm long) for the introduction of the loop and carrier into any appropriately sized trocar sleeve or larger sized trocar sleeve with the use of a converter
• Polysorb™ sutures are composed of Lactomer™ glycolide/lactide copolymer, which is a synthetic polyester derived from glycolic and lactic acids
• Polysorb™ sutures are prepared by coating the suture with a caprolactone/glycolide copolymer mixture of caprolactone/glycolide copolymer and calcium stearoyl lactylate
• Polysorb™ sutures are colored violet to increase visibility
