B. Braun Novosyn Violet Suture, USP 1 (EP 4), 70 cm with HR40 Needle

The B. Braun Novosyn Violet suture is a high-quality, synthetic absorbable braided surgical suture, meticulously designed for reliable tissue approximation and ligation in various surgical specialties.
Made from Polyglycolide-co-caprolactone (PGCL), Novosyn Violet offers an intermediate absorption profile, ensuring sustained wound support during critical healing phases while minimizing long-term foreign body reaction.
This violet-dyed suture provides excellent visibility against tissue, enhancing surgical precision.
It is coated to allow for smooth tissue passage and superior knot security, crucial for successful surgical outcomes.

This particular variant features a USP 1 (EP 4) gauge, a standard size for general closure, with a generous 70 cm length to accommodate diverse surgical needs.
It is pre-attached to an HR40 needle, which is a 40 mm, 1/2 circle, round-bodied needle, ideal for delicate and precise penetration through a wide range of tissues with minimal trauma.

Key Benefits of Novosyn Violet Suture:

• Predictable Absorption: Offers consistent and reliable absorption profile (56-70 days for complete mass absorption), providing optimal wound support during the critical healing period.
• High Initial Tensile Strength: Ensures secure tissue approximation immediately post-surgery, with excellent strength retention over time.
• Smooth Tissue Passage: Coated surface allows for easy passage through tissues, reducing drag and minimizing tissue trauma.
• Superior Knot Security: The braided structure and coating contribute to excellent knotting properties, ensuring secure and stable knots.
• Good Visibility: Violet dye provides clear visibility in the surgical field, aiding in precise suture placement.
• Minimal Tissue Reaction: Synthetic material and controlled absorption lead to a low incidence of tissue inflammatory response.

How to Use:

1. Ensure the suture package is intact and sterile before opening.
2. Open the sterile foil pack using aseptic technique.
3. Gently remove the suture and needle from the package.
4. Handle the suture with care, avoiding excessive tension or damage.
5. Use appropriate surgical instruments for needle handling and knot tying.
6. Perform tissue approximation or ligation according to standard surgical procedures and surgeon's preference.
7. Dispose of used suture material and needle in designated sharps containers and medical waste bins.

Caution & Warnings:

• Sterility: Do not use if the package is opened or damaged. The product is for single-use only.
• Proper Handling: Avoid crimping or damaging the suture with surgical instruments, as this may compromise its integrity.
• Infection Control: Always use aseptic technique to prevent surgical site infections.
• Tissue Reaction: Monitor patients for any signs of adverse tissue reaction or infection at the suture site.
• Disposal: Dispose of all used sutures and needles as biohazardous medical waste in accordance with local regulations.
• Storage: Store at room temperature, protected from moisture and direct heat. Refer to packaging for specific storage conditions.
