2 Description Characteristics Indications Contraindications Actions Tensile Strength Absorption Sterilization Packaging and CV synthetic absorbable sutures are prepared from polyglyconate, a copolymer of glycolic acid and trimethylene carbonate. The advanced extrusion process of the molecule of polyglyconate gives the suture: Excellent in-vivo strength retention Excellent knot tying security Excellent handling inimal memory and CV synthetic absorbable sutures are indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, including use in pediatric cardiovascular tissue, where growth is expected to occur, and in peripheral vascular surgery. and CV synthetic absorbable sutures are not indicated for use in adult cardiovascular tissue, ophthalmic surgery, microsurgery and neural tissues. The use of this suture is contraindicated in patients with known sensitivities or allergies to its components. These sutures, being absorbable, should not be used where extended approximation of tissue is required or for fixation of permanent cardiovascular prostheses or synthetic grafts. and CV synthetic absorbable sutures elicit a minimal acute inflammatory reaction in tissues, followed by gradual encapsulation of the suture by fibrous connective tissue. Progressive loss of tensile strength and eventual absorption of sutures occurs by means of hydrolysis. Experimental studies with and CV suture produced no evidence of antigenicity, systemic toxicity, carcinogenicity, mutagenicity teratogenicity or adverse effects on reproductive performance. Subcutaneous tissue implantation studies in rats indicate sutures retain approximately 75% of initial tensile strength at two weeks, 65% of at three weeks and 50% at four weeks post-implant. Absorption begins as a loss of tensile strength without appreciable loss of mass. Absorption of sutures is minimal until about 60 days after implant and is essentially complete within six months. Ethylene oxide sutures are available in and EP sizes 2 (5 metric) through 7-0 (0.5 metric). CV sutures are available only in and EP sizes 7-0 (0.5 metric) through 4-0 (1.5 metric). and CV sutures are dyed with D&C Green No. 6. sutures are available undyed (clear). The sutures are supplied sterile, in pre-cut lengths; non-needled or affixed to various needle types, using both permanent and removable needle attachment techniques; in one, two or three dozen boxes.
