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 a size 1 green strand equipped with a Protect Point™ BGS-25 blunt taper point needle on a 1\/2 circle curvature. The blunt point design is specifically engineered to reduce the risk of accidental needlestick injuries while still providing the strength needed for heavy tissue closure. 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-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"4,0,0\"\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"4,0,0\"\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"4,0,0\"\u003ePolyglyconate Monofilament: \u003c\/b\u003eProvides 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-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"4,1,0\"\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-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"4,2,0\"\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-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"4,3,0\"\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-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"4,4,0\"\u003eProtect Point™ BGS-25 Needle:\u003c\/b\u003e Features a blunt taper point on a 1\/2 circle curvature, designed to enhance OR safety by minimizing accidental percutaneous injury during closure of friable or heavy tissue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4,5,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"4,5,0\"\u003eGreen Colorant:\u003c\/b\u003e Dyed green to provide maximum visibility and contrast against the surgical field for precise handling.\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-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"6,0,0\"\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-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"6,1,0\"\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-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"6,2,0\"\u003eFriable Tissue Closure:\u003c\/b\u003e The blunt taper point is specifically suited for suturing organs and tissues where a standard sharp needle may cause unnecessary trauma or bleeding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"6,3,0\"\u003eGynecological Procedures:\u003c\/b\u003e Frequently utilized in procedures where a smooth, long-term absorbable monofilament is advantageous.\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: 1\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: BGS-25 (Protect Point™ Blunt Taper)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCurvature: 1\/2 Circle\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLength: 36\" (90 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™ Protect Point™ Monofilament Synthetic Absorbable Sutures -
