B. Braun Novosyn Violet Suture 2/0 (Metric 3) 70CM HR26

The B. Braun Novosyn Violet suture is a high-quality, synthetic absorbable surgical suture designed for reliable tissue approximation and ligation. Made from a copolymer of glycolide and L-lactide (PGLA), this braided multifilament suture offers excellent handling properties and predictable absorption profile, making it a preferred choice in various surgical disciplines.

Its violet color ensures excellent visibility within the surgical field, aiding precision during closure. The suture is equipped with an HR26 needle, a 1/2 circle round bodied needle, suitable for general tissue closure where minimal tissue trauma is desired.

Benefits of Use

• Predictable Absorption: Provides reliable wound support with complete absorption typically within 60-90 days, minimizing long-term foreign body reaction.
• High Tensile Strength: Offers initial high tensile strength with good retention during the critical wound healing period.
• Excellent Handling: The braided structure ensures superior knot security and smooth passage through tissue, enhancing surgical control.
• Optimized Visibility: Distinctive violet coloration allows for clear identification during surgical procedures.
• Minimal Tissue Reaction: Synthetic material ensures a low inflammatory response, promoting optimal healing.

How to Use

1. Ensure the package is intact and sterile before opening.
2. Handle the suture with sterile instruments, avoiding direct hand contact to maintain sterility.
3. Select the appropriate suture length and gauge (2/0 or Metric 3) for the specific surgical application.
4. Pass the HR26 needle through the tissue following standard surgical techniques.
5. Tie knots securely, utilizing established surgical knotting methods appropriate for braided sutures.
6. Dispose of used sutures and needles in appropriate sharps and medical waste containers.
