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.
