Meril Mitsu #3-0 Polyglactin 910 Suture PGN30 2437

MITSU is a mid-term absorbable braided and coated synthetic suture made of poly (glycolide-co-l-lactide) (90/10). MITSU degrades by hydrolysis and assures predictable and reliable absorption.

MITSUTM  Polyglactin 910 suture leads to growth of fibrous
connective tissue due to (minimal) initial inflammatory tissue reaction.
MITSU gradually loses tensile strength and is finally absorbed by
hydrolytic process. During hydrolysis, the copolymer degrades to
gylcolic and lactic acids which are then absorbed and metabolized in the
body. Significant tensile strength i.e. 75% of the original is retained
until initial 14 days, 40%-50% of the original is retained until 21
days (6-0 and larger) & (7-0 and smaller) and 24% of the original is
retained until initial 28 days (6-0 and larger). There is a subsequent
loss between four to five weeks post implantation. Complete absorption
of MITSU suture usually takes place between 56 to 75 days.
