Aqmen - AM2732S - Sutures AM2732S AqFast Vicryl Type USP 3-0-12 Foils

The Aqmen AM2732S is an absorbable surgical suture designed for wound closure. It is composed of Polyglactin-910, a synthetic copolymer that undergoes hydrolysis for absorption by the body. This suture is classified as a fast-absorbing material, meaning it retains tensile strength for a shorter period compared to standard absorbable sutures, providing adequate wound support during the initial critical healing phase.

The suture is presented in a USP size of 3-0, indicating its diameter, and has a length of 45 centimeters. Each unit is packaged sterilely in foil, with 12 individual foils contained within a box. This packaging ensures product integrity and sterility until the point of use.

The material's predictable absorption profile makes it suitable for applications where early wound healing is expected and prolonged foreign body presence is undesirable. Its synthetic nature minimizes tissue reactivity, contributing to a smoother healing process. The suture is designed to provide a certain degree of wound support for approximately 14 days post-implantation, after which its tensile strength diminishes significantly as absorption progresses.

This timeframe is crucial for many surgical procedures requiring temporary tissue approximation.
