Suture, Endo Stitch, Surgidac, Green, O, 7" -

The ENDO STITCH# single use loading units (SULU#s) are available in either a single-stitch unit with one sutured needle or a triple-stitch unit with three sutured needles. The ENDO STITCH# single use loading units are available in the following suture materials: BRALON# braided nylon sutures are inert, nonabsorbable, sterile surgical sutures composed of the long-chain aliphatic polymers Nylon 6 and Nylon 6.6. BRALON# sutures are coated uniformly with polybutylene adipate to enhance handling characteristics, ease of passage through tissue and reduction of capillarity. BRALON# braided sutures are nonabsorbable nylon surgical sutures which are available either dyed black, with Logwood extract, or undyed (white). BRALON# braided nylon sutures meet all requirements established by the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) and the European Pharmacopeia (EP). 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). POLYSORB# sutures are prepared by coating the suture with a mixture of a caprolactone/glycolide copolymer and calcium stearoyl lactylate. POLYSORB# sutures are colored violet to increase visibility and are also available undyed.
