Product Overview:
MITSU Polyglactin 910 is a mid-term absorbable, braided, and coated synthetic suture made from a copolymer of 90% glycolide and 10% L-lactide. It degrades through hydrolysis, ensuring predictable and reliable absorption.
Composition and Coating:
MITSU™ sutures are made from poly(glycolide-co-l-lactide), coated with a blend of glycolide, lactide, and calcium stearate. The copolymer formula is (C2H2O2)m (C3H4O2)n (C36H70O4Ca), providing non-pyrogenic properties.
Variety:
Available in both dyed (D&C Violet No. 2) and undyed forms, these sutures come in a wide range of sizes and lengths, with stainless steel needles in various types and dimensions. MITSU™ meets USP and European Pharmacopeia standards for absorbable, sterile braided sutures.
Performance:
MITSU polyglactin 910 sutures are designed to minimize tissue inflammation, promote fibrous tissue growth, and gradually lose tensile strength through absorption. They retain 75% tensile strength for 14 days, 40-50% for 21 days, and 24% for 28 days. Complete absorption typically occurs between 56 to 75 days.
Key Features:
-
High-quality material for consistent performance and reliability.
-
Sharp needles for smooth and effortless penetration during surgery.
-
Excellent knot security, ensuring strong tissue approximation.
-
Minimal tissue reactivity for enhanced healing and reduced scarring.
-
Easy handling and flexibility during suturing due to the braided structure.
-
Predictable absorption rate, suitable for most surgical procedures.
-
Sterile packaging ensuring product integrity and safety.

MITSU Polyglactin 910 suture.
Multifilament, Braided
75% of the original is retained until initial 14 Days
40-50% of the original is retained until initial 21 Days
There is a subsequent loss between four to five weeks post implantation
Complete absorption of MITSU suture usually takes place between 56 to 75 days
