Covidien L-27 0 Polysorb Violet 12X18" Pre-Cut Box of 24

Covidien L-27 0 Polysorb Violet Suture | 18" Pre-Cut Ligature Strands | Box of 24

The Covidien L-27 is a high-performance Polysorb™ synthetic absorbable ligature, engineered for superior knot security and rapid handling in the operating room. This Size 0 violet braided suture is provided in a "non-needled" format, consisting of 12 pre-cut 18-inch strands per individual sterile packet. Constructed from Lactomer™ 9-1 (a proprietary copolymer of glycolide and lactide), Polysorb™ sutures are renowned for their high initial tensile strength and excellent "tie-down" characteristics, making them the preferred choice for vessel ligation and heavy tissue approximation where a needle is not required.

The violet-dyed braided construction provides excellent visibility against surgical fields and high-contrast identification during complex abdominal, gynecological, and orthopedic procedures.

Technical & Professional Advantages

• Superior Knot Security: Polysorb™ material is specifically formulated to provide a "lock-down" feel on the first throw, ensuring that ligatures on major vessels or high-tension pedicles remain secure.

• High Initial Tensile Strength: Outperforms many traditional braided sutures in the critical first 14 days of wound healing, maintaining approximately 80% of its strength at 2 weeks.

• Efficient Ligature Delivery: The pre-cut 18-inch length is optimized for hand-tying or "passing" to a surgeon for deep-cavity ligation, streamlining workflow in high-volume surgical centers.

• Predictable Absorption: Undergoes absorption via hydrolysis, with essentially all tensile strength lost by 3 weeks and complete mass absorption typically occurring between 56 and 70 days.

• Low Friction Coating: Each strand is coated with a mixture of caprolactone/glycolide copolymer and calcium stearoyl lactylate, ensuring smooth passage through tissue and easy knot positioning.
