GEM MICRO SUTURE

Microsuture is a non-absorbable, sterile surgical nylon monofilament suture indicated for use in microsurgical, cardiovascular, ophthalmic, and neurological procedures.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Microsuture is indicated for general tissue approximation and/or ligation, including use in microsurgical, cardiovascular, ophthalmic, and neurological procedures.

ACTIONS

GEM Microsuture induces minimal acute inflammatory response in tissues, followed by gradual encapsulation of the suture by fibrous connective tissue.

TENSILE STRENGTH

As with any nylon suture material, the progressive hydrolysis of the suture material in vivo, even though it is not absorbed, can result in a gradual loss of tensile strength over time. Nylon suture should not be used when permanent tensile strength retention is required.

STERILIZATION

Ethylene oxide.
