NOVOSYN VIOLET 0 (3,5) 70CM HR40S (M)RCP

Product Overview

NOVOSYN VIOLET is a premium, absorbable synthetic multifilament suture manufactured by B. Braun, a global leader in medical technology. This high-quality surgical thread is specifically designed for soft tissue approximation and ligation, offering a dependable and predictable absorption profile. Made from a copolymer of glycolide and trimethylene carbonate, NOVOSYN VIOLET provides excellent handling characteristics, superior knot security, and minimal tissue reaction, ensuring optimal patient outcomes. The suture is distinguished by its violet color, enhancing visibility within the surgical field for precise placement and control.

Key Benefits

• High initial tensile strength ensures secure wound approximation during the critical healing phase.
• Predictable and reliable absorption profile, with complete absorption typically within 60-90 days, eliminating the need for suture removal.
• Excellent knot security and smooth passage through tissue due to its advanced braiding technology, minimizing tissue trauma.
• Minimal tissue reaction, reducing inflammation and supporting an enhanced healing environment.
• Violet dye (D&C Violet No. 2) for optimal visibility against various tissue types in the surgical field.
• Versatile for a wide range of general soft tissue approximation and ligation procedures, excluding cardiovascular and neurological tissues.

How to Use

1. Ensure the sterile barrier package is intact and unopened before use. Inspect for any signs of damage.
2. Open the sterile foil pouch using aseptic technique, avoiding direct contact with the suture.
3. Carefully remove the suture from the packaging. Handle the suture gently; avoid excessive pulling or manipulation that could compromise its integrity.
4. Pass the needle and suture through the tissue as required by the specific surgical procedure and anatomical needs.
5. Form knots securely, following established surgical knot-tying principles to achieve strong and stable wound closure.
6. After use, dispose of all suture material, needles, and packaging according to local regulations for medical waste.

Cautions & Warnings

• This product is sterile and for single-use only. Do not resterilize. Discard any unused portions.
• Do not use if the package is opened, damaged, or expired.
• NOVOSYN VIOLET is an absorbable suture and should not be used where long-term (>90 days) wound support is required, or in situations requiring high tension.
• Only qualified medical professionals should handle and implant this medical device. Proficiency in surgical techniques and knot tying is essential.
• As with any foreign body, prolonged contact with saline solutions or other electrolytes may result in an inflammatory reaction.
• Patients with known sensitivities or allergic reactions to glycolide or trimethylene carbonate derivatives should not be treated with this suture.
• Improper knot tying or excessive tension can lead to suture breakage or compromised wound closure.
• Always ensure proper wound management, infection control, and post-operative care as per medical guidelines.
