Male External Catheter Braided & Coated Polyglactin 910
A synthetic, absorbable, sterile surgical suture made from Polyglactin 910. It is braided and coated to ensure smooth tissue passage, excellent knot security, and minimal tissue reaction. Ideal for superficial soft tissue approximation where short-term wound support is required.

Product Description
Polyglactin 910 Sutures are composed of a copolymer of 90% glycolide and 10% L-lactide, offering predictable absorption and reliable tensile strength. The braided structure enhances handling and knot tying, while the coating of poly (glycolide-co-L-lactide) and calcium stearate reduces tissue drag.
MESYNTH provides effective wound support for short-duration healing procedures, especially in skin and mucosal tissues. Absorption occurs completely through hydrolysis within 56–70 days. The sutures comply with USP standards and are EO sterilized for safety.
Indications
- Superficial soft tissue approximation
- Skin and mucosal suturing
- Procedures requiring short-term wound support (7–10 days)
- Not recommended for cardiovascular or neurological tissue
