- FDA Product Code: GAM
- FDA Product Code Name: SUTURE, ABSORBABLE, SYNTHETIC, POLYGLYCOLIC ACID
- GMDN Term Code: 60480
- GMDN Term Name: Barbed polyester suture, non-antimicrobial
- GMDN Term Description: A single-strand (monofilament), synthetic, bioabsorbable thread made from a polyester intended to approximate the edges of a soft-tissue wound or incision by stitching. It is designed with barbs along its length intended to facilitate tissue approximation by adding tension, a fixation feature (e.g., tab, loop, bidirectional barbs) intended to eliminate the need to tie a knot, and may include disposable suture application devices [e.g., needle, passer]. The thread provides extended temporary wound support, until the wound sufficiently heals to withstand normal stress, and is subsequently absorbed by hydrolysis. It does not include antimicrobial agents/materials. This is a single-use device.
Covidien AutoSuture
Covidien’s AutoSuture business now resides within Medtronic’s Surgical Operating Unit, under the Medical Surgical Portfolio. This group is focused on delivering advanced technologies for minimally invasive surgery, with a deep legacy in surgical stapling, energy devices, and laparoscopic instrumentation.
Key products from the former AutoSuture line include:
- Endo GIA™ staplers and reloads – a flagship line of linear cutting staplers used in a variety of laparoscopic and open procedures.
- Signia™ – a powered stapling platform offering real-time feedback and adaptive firing technology.
- LigaSure™ – a trusted vessel sealing system for tissue fusion and hemostasis.
- VersaOne™ trocars – for secure and versatile access during minimally invasive surgery.
- Sonicision™ – cordless ultrasonic dissection tools that combine energy and precision.
These technologies form the backbone of Medtronic’s minimally invasive surgical portfolio, originally developed under the AutoSuture brand by U.S. Surgical Corporation, then acquired by Tyco Healthcare, which later became Covidienbefore merging with Medtronic in 2015. Today, Medtronic continues to build on this heritage, delivering solutions that enhance efficiency, precision, and outcomes in the operating room.
