Covidien Maxon monofilament synthetic absorbable sutures are made of polyglyconate— a copolymer of glycolic acid and trimethylene carbonate—designed to help delay the absorption period. Indicated for soft tissue approximation and ligation, including pediatric cardiovascular tissue, this 2-0 suture offers reliable handling and knot security. Each 30 in (75 cm), green suture is paired with a 24 mm, 3/8 circle reverse cutting needle with regular attachment. The smooth monofilament design supports precise placement in demanding soft tissue applications.
