Aqmen - AMP2437 - Sutures AMP2437 POLYSOLVE + VICRYL type USP 3-0-12 Foils

The Aqmen AMP2437 is an absorbable surgical suture designed for wound closure. This specific product features a 3-0 USP size suture, 70 centimeters in length, constructed from a Polyglactin-910 material. The suture is violet in color and incorporates an antibacterial agent, triclosan, which contributes to its antimicrobial properties.

It is designed to provide wound support for approximately 28 days as it is gradually absorbed by the body. Each foil contains one sterile suture-needle combination, with 12 foils provided per box.

The suture functions by mechanically holding wound edges together to facilitate healing. Its absorbable nature means that it does not require removal, reducing the need for follow-up procedures in many cases. The Polyglactin-910 material is known for its predictable absorption profile and good tensile strength during the critical wound healing period.

The presence of triclosan aims to reduce the risk of surgical site infections by inhibiting bacterial growth on the suture material.

Key features of the Aqmen AMP2437 include its absorbable composition, making it suitable for internal tissue approximation where suture removal is not feasible or desirable. The antibacterial component offers an added layer of protection against infection. The 3-0 USP size and 70 cm length provide versatility for various surgical applications.

The suture is paired with a 20 mm, 1/2 circle round body needle, which is designed for ease of handling and penetration through tissue.

This suture is intended for use by qualified medical professionals in a variety of surgical settings. It is appropriate for approximation of soft tissues and ligation where an absorbable suture is indicated. Typical applications include general surgery, obstetrics and gynecology, plastic surgery, and other procedures requiring internal tissue closure.

The absorbable nature makes it particularly useful in areas where suture removal would be difficult or inconvenient for the patient.

Important usage notes include ensuring the sterile packaging remains intact prior to use. The suture should be handled using appropriate surgical techniques to maintain sterility and prevent tissue damage. The duration of wound support is an estimate and can vary depending on individual patient factors and the specific tissue being sutured.

As with all surgical materials, proper selection of suture size, type, and needle is crucial for optimal surgical outcomes. The absorbable nature means that the tensile strength diminishes over time, and it is not intended for permanent tissue support.
