This specific composition is designed to provide the high initial tensile strength and prolonged strength retention necessary for closure of soft tissues that require extended support. Because it is a monofilament, Maxon™ offers a smooth passage through delicate tissues, significantly reducing tissue drag and minimize the risk of \"sawing\" or trauma compared to braided alternatives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"2\"\u003eThis specific configuration features an 18-inch green strand equipped with a CV-15 taper point needle on a 3\/8 circle curvature, providing the precision required for delicate soft tissue approximation. The synthetic nature of the polyglyconate material ensures a predictable absorption rate through hydrolysis, minimizing the inflammatory response typically associated with natural absorbable sutures. By delivering excellent handling characteristics and exceptional knot security, Maxon™ remains a preferred choice for general, cardiovascular, and gynecological surgeries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"2\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlease note: All prices are for boxes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003ePolyglyconate Monofilament:\u003c\/b\u003e Provides a smooth surface for effortless passage through tissue, reducing the risk of trauma or infection-harboring interstices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eExtended Tensile Strength:\u003c\/b\u003e Formulated to maintain significant wound support during the critical healing period, offering higher strength retention than many other synthetic absorbable sutures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003ePredictable Absorption Profile:\u003c\/b\u003e Absorbs via hydrolysis with minimal tissue reaction; typically essentially complete between 180 and 210 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eExcellent Handling \u0026amp; Knot Security:\u003c\/b\u003e Offers the flexibility and \"suppleness\" required for easy knot placement and reliable stays, even in deep or high-tension closures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4,4,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4,4,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCV-15 Taper Point Needle:\u003c\/b\u003e Features a 3\/8 circle needle profile optimized for smooth penetration of delicate tissues without cutting, paired with a manageable 18-inch (45 cm) length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4,5,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4,5,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eGreen Colorant:\u003c\/b\u003e Dyed green to provide maximum visibility and contrast against the surgical field for precise handling.\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"4,0,0\"\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eIdeal Clinical Applications\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eSoft Tissue Approximation:\u003c\/b\u003e Recommended for general soft tissue closure, including use in pediatric cardiovascular and peripheral vascular tissue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eExtended Support Closures:\u003c\/b\u003e Ideal for tissues that heal slowly or require prolonged support, such as the fascia or abdominal wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003ePediatric Surgery:\u003c\/b\u003e Frequently utilized in procedures requiring growth accommodation and a smooth, long-term absorbable monofilament.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eGynecological Procedures:\u003c\/b\u003e Ideal for internal closures where a predictable absorption rate and high tensile strength are required.\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"6,0,0\"\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBrand: Maxon™ (Medtronic)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eProduct Type: Synthetic Absorbable Suture\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMaterial: Polyglyconate\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSuture Size: 4-0\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eColor: Green\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNeedle Type: CV-15 (Taper Point)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCurvature: 3\/8 Circle\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLength: 18\" (45 cm)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003ePackaging\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eMaxon™ Monofilament Synthetic Absorbable Sutures -
