Lotus Solus 910 AM+ #1 Braided Taper Point Polyglactin – 910 Suture With Triclosan LAM2350-910 (Pack of 12)

Description

The Lotus Solus 910 AM+ #1 Braided Taper Point Polyglactin-910 Sutures with Triclosan (LAM2350-910) are high-quality absorbable sutures designed for secure wound closure in various surgical applications. Constructed from braided Polyglactin-910, these sutures feature an antimicrobial coating of Triclosan, which helps minimize the risk of infection. The taper point needle design allows for smooth tissue penetration, reducing trauma during insertion. With excellent knotting properties and high initial tensile strength, they provide reliable performance and secure closure. #1 sutures are thicker and stronger, making them particularly suitable for closing heavier or high-tension tissues, such as deep fascia, tendons, or muscles. They are often used in orthopedic surgeries, abdominal wall closures, or any procedure requiring robust support for tissues under significant strain.

Key Features

• Soft and Smooth Texture: Ensures easy passage through tissue with minimal trauma
• Advanced Braiding Technology: Provides excellent knotting properties and secure tie-downs

Directions for Use

• Preparation: Ensure the surgical site is clean and sterile. Open the suture packaging using aseptic techniques
• Thread the Needle: If not pre-threaded, carefully thread the suture through the needle’s eye, ensuring it is securely seated
• Insert the Needle: Insert the needle into the tissue at the desired entry point, using a smooth, gentle motion to minimize trauma. For deep sutures, place them under the layers of tissue below the skin
• Pass the Suture: Pass the suture through the tissue, maintaining tension to ensure a secure closure. Use techniques like interrupted or continuous sutures depending on the wound type
• Tie the Knot: Use a secure knotting technique to tie down the suture. The braided structure of the suture allows for good knotting properties. For buried sutures, ensure the knot is placed under the skin surface
• Cut Excess Suture: Trim the excess suture material close to the knot to prevent irritation
• Post-Operative Care: Monitor the wound for healing and ensure proper wound care to prevent infection. Since these sutures are absorbable, they will degrade over time, eliminating the need for removal
