Description

Meril Mitsu C+ #3-0 Polyglactin 910 Suture With Chlorhexidine

Meril Mitsu C+ #3-0 Polyglactin 910 Suture with Chlorhexidine is a mid-term absorbable, braided, synthetic suture designed to minimize the risk of suture-induced surgical site infections. Made from a copolymer composed of 90% glycolide and 10% L-lactide, this suture is coated with chlorhexidine, a potent antibacterial agent, enhancing its ability to prevent infection. The suture degrades by hydrolysis, ensuring predictable and reliable absorption, typically maintaining tensile strength for 2-3 weeks and fully absorbing within 56-70 days. The chlorhexidine coating provides an added layer of protection against bacterial colonization, making it particularly suitable for surgeries where infection prevention is critical. Available in various sizes and lengths, Meril Mitsu C+ sutures come with standard stainless steel needles of different types and sizes. These sutures comply with the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) and European Pharmacopeia (EP) standards, ensuring high quality and performance in a wide range of surgical procedures.

Indications:

• Used for general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation across suitable surgery types.

Benefits of Chlorhexidine Coating:

• Antibacterial Protection: The chlorhexidine coating provides an added layer of antibacterial protection, reducing the risk of suture-induced surgical site infections.
• Enhanced Healing: By minimizing bacterial colonization, the chlorhexidine coating helps promote a cleaner wound environment, potentially enhancing the healing process.
• Long-Lasting Effect: The antibacterial properties of chlorhexidine offer long-lasting protection throughout the critical initial healing period, ensuring the suture site remains as free from infection as possible.

Directions for Use

• Preparation: Ensure the surgical area is clean and dry. Verify that the suture packet is intact and has not been previously opened or damaged. Sterility is compromised if the package is damaged.
• Needle Handling: Use needle holders to grasp the suture needle, avoiding manual contact to maintain sterility. Do not bend or alter the needle, as this could compromise its performance.
• Suturing Technique: Perform the incision and other necessary preparatory steps according to the specific dental procedure. Insert the needle at a right angle to the tissue for optimal penetration and to minimize tissue trauma. Follow the intended suture pattern, ensuring even spacing and tension to promote effective wound closure and healing.
• Knotting: Use standard knot-tying techniques suitable for polyglactin sutures. Ensure knots are secure but not overly tight, to avoid cutting through tissue and to allow for natural swelling and healing.
• Chlorhexidine Benefits: Chlorhexidine coating provides long-lasting antibacterial protection, reducing the risk of surgical site infections and promoting a cleaner wound environment, which enhances the healing process.
• Post-Suturing Care: After suturing, trim the suture ends to appropriate lengths to minimize irritation within the oral cavity. Follow standard post-operative care procedures, including advising the patient on oral hygiene and care of the surgical site.
• Absorption and Follow-Up: Inform the patient that the suture will be absorbed naturally within 56 to 70 days, eliminating the need for suture removal. Schedule follow-up visits to monitor the healing process and address any potential complications.
• Storage: Store unused sutures in a cool, dry place away from direct heat and moisture. Do not re-sterilize or reuse opened sutures.
