Mitsutm Polyglactin 910 suture leads to growth of fibrous connective tissue due to (minimal) initial inflammatory tissue reaction. MITSU gradually loses tensile strength and is finally absorbed by hydrolytic process. During hydrolysis, the copolymer degrades to gylcolic and lactic acids which are then absorbed and metabolized in the body. Significant tensile strength i.e. 75% of the original is retained until initial 14 days, 40%-50% of the original is retained until 21 days (6-0 and larger) & (7-0 and smaller) and 24% of the original is retained until initial 28 days (6-0 and larger). There is a subsequent loss between four to five weeks post implantation. Complete absorption of MITSU suture usually takes place between 56 to 75 days. Specifications: - Composition: Poly(glycolide/L-Lactide) i.e. Polyglactin 910. - Structure: Braided. - Dyed: USP 8/0 - USP 2. - Undyed: USP 6/0 - USP 2. - Suture Lengths: 45 cm. - Needle Dimensions: 26 mm 1/2 circle round bodied. Sterility: - MITSUTM Polyglactin 910 sutures are sterilized by ethylene oxide (EtO). - Do not re-sterilize, if re-sterilize, product may degrade and not perform as intended. - Do not use if package is opened or damaged. Discard opened remaining unused sutures. Contradictions: - Being absorbable, MITSU suture is not recommended where extended approximation of tissues under stress is required. Storage: - Recommended storage conditions for MITSUTM Polyglactin 910 sutures is between 15OC and 30OC, away from moisture and direct heat. Do not use after expiry date. **For further product information, please contact Chat Support**
