Covidien CL-15-MG 1 Polysorb Stre GS-21 Taper 1/2 37mm 5 x 18 inch - Box of 12

The Covidien CL-15-MG 1 Polysorb Stre GS-21 Taper 1/2 37mm (5 x 18 inch) is a high-quality, absorbable surgical suture designed for a wide range of soft tissue applications. Manufactured by Covidien, a leading name in medical supplies, this suture combines advanced materials and design to offer superior performance in wound closure and surgical procedures.

Key Features and Benefits

Polysorb Material: The suture is made from Polysorb, a synthetic absorbable material composed of copolymer lactide and glycolide. Polysorb sutures are known for their high tensile strength and reliable absorption profile, providing consistent performance throughout the wound healing process. The absorbable nature of Polysorb eliminates the need for suture removal, enhancing patient comfort and convenience.

GS-21 Taper Needle: The CL-15-MG suture comes with a GS-21 taper needle, designed for precision and minimal tissue trauma. The taper needle’s sharp, tapered point facilitates smooth penetration through tissues, reducing resistance and improving the accuracy of suture placement. This is particularly beneficial for delicate or intricate procedures.

Size and Length: The suture features a size of 1 (USP) and a length of 5 x 18 inches (approximately 127 mm x 457 mm). This size and length provide versatility for various surgical applications, offering sufficient material for adequate wound closure and tissue approximation.

1/2 Circle Needle Configuration: The 1/2 circle needle configuration of the GS-21 taper ensures optimal maneuverability and control during suturing. This design allows for effective navigation around curved or confined spaces, making it suitable for complex surgical sites.

Reliable Absorption Profile: Polysorb sutures are designed to maintain their tensile strength for a sufficient duration to support the healing process, after which they are gradually absorbed by the body. This predictable absorption profile helps ensure that the wound remains secure while healing, and minimizes the risk of suture-related complications.

Smooth Handling: The Polysorb suture offers smooth handling and ease of use during suturing. The suture’s flexibility and handling characteristics allow for precise placement and knot security, contributing to better surgical outcomes and reducing the risk of complications.

Sterility and Packaging: The Covidien CL-15-MG suture is supplied in sterile packaging, ensuring that it remains free from contaminants until use. The packaging is designed to maintain the integrity of the suture and facilitate easy handling in the operating room.
