Description
Biosyn monofilament synthetic absorbable sutures are prepared from a synthetic polyester composed of glycolide, dioxanone, and trimethylene carbonate. Biosyn synthetic absorbable sutures are colored violet to increase visibility and are also available undyed.
Biosyn synthetic absorbable sutures elicit a minimal acute
inflammatory reaction in tissues, which is followed by
gradual encapsulation of the suture by fibrous connective
tissue. Progressive loss of tensile strength and eventual
absorption of Biosyn synthetic absorbable sutures occurs
by means of hydrolysis where the suture is broken down
to glycolic acid, dioxanoic acid, propane diol and carbon
dioxide which are subsequently absorbed and metabolized
by the body.
