Intended purpose
Cardioxyl sutures are intended for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, including use in cardiovascular and vascular surgery, in ophthalmic surgery and in neurological surgery.
Functional description
The synthetic non-absorbable surgical sutures Cardioxyl are composed of polyester braids, with or without pledget of different sizes. Cardioxyl sutures elicit a minimal acute inflammatory reaction in tissues, which is followed by gradual encapsulation of the suture by fibrous connective tissue. Cardioxyl sutures are not absorbed and there is no degradation or loss of strength.
