MINT Polydioxanone Absorbable Surgical Monofilament Suture with Barbs and Needle, Model 43BN1913 - Suture, polydioxanone

Intended purpose

MINT polydioxanone absorbable surgical suture is intended for correction of defected soft tissue caused by accidents or trauma. MINT is inserted under a local anaesthesia in the skin and gently pulled into position, placing a barbed suture under the skin. The suture lift tissues that have defects.

Functional description

The MINT synthetic absorbable PDO suture is made of ρolydioxanone, and is supplied with attached needles. The pigment for the violet dye is D&C Violet No.2. MINT is EO sterilized and degrades or dissolves over time in tissue. Each suture has bi-directional barbs along the long axis of the monofilament without needle attachment. MINT approximates tissue, without the need to tie surgical knots, by using the barbs on the suture surface to embed in the tissues after suture placement.
