supplied sterile ready to use.
MATERIALS
Handle: ABS
Anchor: Polyetheretherketone (PEEK)
Shaft: Stainless steel
Suture: See package label for type
1. PANACRYL
absorbable suture. PANACRYL sutures meet or
exceed the USP tensile strength requirements
for nonabsorbable and absorbable suture. The
results of implantation studies of PANACRYL
braided absorbable suture in animals indicate that
approximately 80% of its original strength remains
3 months after implantation. At 6 months post-
implantation, approximately 60% of its original
strength is retained. *

2. ETHIBOND
suture.
OR
3. ORTHOCORD
composite suture composed of dyed (D&C Violet #2
or D&C Blue #6) absorbable polydiaxanone (PDS
and un-dyed non-absorbable polyethylene. The
partially absorbable suture is coated with a copolymer
of 90% caprolactone and 10% glycolide.
The PDS copolymer has been shown to be nonantigenic,
nonpyrogenic and elicits only a slight tissue reaction
during absorption.
Needles: Stainless Steel. See package label for type
and size.
