Meril Mitsu Suture 4-0 - PGN40 2304 Pack of 12

MITSU is a mid-term absorbable braided and coated synthetic suture made of poly (glycolide-co-l-lactide) (90/10). MITSU degrades by hydrolysis and assures predictable and reliable absorption.

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.

Sterility:
MITSU 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 MITSU Polyglactin 910 sutures is between 15OC and 30OC, away from moisture and direct heat. Do not use after expiry date
