NOVOSYN Violet Absorbable Suture - USP 1 (Metric 4), 70cm, with JR30S Needle

NOVOSYN Violet is a premium, absorbable, braided synthetic suture meticulously engineered by B. Braun, a global leader in medical technology.

Crafted from Polyglactin 910, a copolymer of 90% Glycolide and 10% L-Lactide, this suture offers an optimal balance of strength and absorbability.

The violet coloration ensures exceptional visibility against surgical tissues, enhancing precision during procedures.

Designed for general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, NOVOSYN Violet provides reliable wound support during the critical healing phase.

Product Benefits

• Predictable Absorption Profile: Ensures consistent and reliable wound support with complete mass absorption between 56 and 70 days.
• High Initial Tensile Strength: Provides robust tissue approximation, maintaining approximately 75% strength at 14 days and 50% at 21 days for adequate wound healing.
• Excellent Knot Security: The braided multifilament structure allows for secure knot tying and reduces the risk of slippage.
• Smooth Tissue Passage: Coated with Poly (Glycolide-co-L-lactide) and Calcium Stearate, minimizing tissue drag and trauma during suturing.
• Enhanced Visibility: The distinct violet color provides superior contrast in the surgical field, aiding surgeon precision.
• Reduced Tissue Reaction: As a synthetic material, Polyglactin 910 is associated with minimal inflammatory response.
• Optimal Handling Characteristics: Offers good pliability and ease of manipulation, facilitating efficient surgical technique.

How to Use

1. Carefully inspect the sterile packaging for any signs of damage or compromise before opening.
2. Aseptically open the foil packet to retrieve the sterile NOVOSYN Violet suture and attached JR30S needle.
3. Grasp the needle firmly with a sterile needle holder at the appropriate curvature for optimal control.
4. Pass the needle through the designated tissue edges, ensuring proper tissue depth and approximation.
5. Form surgical knots using standard techniques to secure the wound closure, applying appropriate tension without overtightening.
6. Once the closure is complete, carefully trim any excess suture material, leaving appropriate tag ends.
7. Dispose of the used suture, needle, and packaging materials according to local medical waste disposal protocols.

Caution & Warnings

• Sterile, Single-Use Only: Do not re-sterilize or reuse this product. Reuse may lead to infection or impaired performance.
• Inspect Packaging: Do not use if the package is opened, damaged, or past its expiry date.
• Intended Use: NOVOSYN Violet is indicated for general soft tissue approximation and ligation. It is NOT intended for use in cardiovascular, neurological, or ophthalmic procedures requiring prolonged tissue support.
• Suture Selection: The choice of suture material, size, and needle type should be made by a qualified surgeon based on the patient's condition, surgical technique, and wound characteristics.
• Adverse Reactions: While rare, potential adverse reactions include wound dehiscence, infection, and localized tissue irritation or inflammation.
• Handling: Handle sutures with care to avoid damage to the material, which could compromise its strength.
