FILAXYN™ endures strength for long-term wound support. FILAXYN™ monofilament synthetic absorbable suture is composed of Poly (p-dioxanone). These sutures are used when prolonged wound support is desirable and the surgeon prefers an absorbable suture.
Intended for use in general soft tissue approximation including use in ophthalmic surgery.
Preferred choice for abdominal wall closure and in immunocompromised/geriatric patients.
Key Features
- Retains 54% knot tensile strength for up to 28 days
- Complete mass absorption within 180 to 220 days
- Prolonged wound support
- Predictable absorption
- Minimal tissue reaction
