Description
Medtronic Biosyn Monofilament Synthetic Absorbable Suture
The Medtronic Biosyn™ SM-5637 suture is a 4-0 monofilament synthetic absorbable suture composed of glycolide, dioxanone, and trimethylene carbonate. Designed for soft tissue approximation and subcuticular closure, Biosyn combines high initial tensile strength, excellent knot security, and smooth handling with a predictable absorption profile. It serves as a reliable choice for general surgery, plastic procedures, and any application where a short-to-mid-term absorbable suture is preferred.

Additional Details
- Brand: Medtronic Covidien LP
- Category: Wound Closure
- Type: Absorbable Suture
- GMDN Term Code: 16584
- GMDN Term Name: Polyester suture, bioabsorbable, monofilament, non-antimicrobial
- GMDN Term Definition: A single-strand (monofilament), synthetic, bioabsorbable thread made from a polyester (e.g., polydioxanone, poliglecaprone, polycaprolactone, polyglyconate, polyhydroxybutyrate) intended to join (approximate) the edges of a soft-tissue wound or incision by stitching or to ligate soft tissues. The thread provides extended temporary wound support, until the wound sufficiently heals to withstand normal stress, and is subsequently absorbed by hydrolysis; it may include an attached disposable device(s) [e.g., needle, passer] intended to facilitate suture application. It is not a barbed suture and does not include antimicrobial agents/materials. This is a single-use device.
