Sterile Braided Coated Synthetic Absorbable Dyed Suture is a medical thread used in surgical procedures for wound closure. Composed of synthetic materials, it combines the benefits of braided construction for strength with a coating that enhances smooth tissue passage. The absorbable nature ensures the suture naturally breaks down over time, eliminating the need for removal. The dyed color aids visibility during procedures. This type of suture is suitable for various surgeries where long-lasting tensile strength and absorption properties are essential, contributing to effective wound healing and minimizing patient discomfort. Specific characteristics may vary depending on the manufacturer and product specifications.
