Barbed polyester suture, antimicrobial

Definition

A single-strand (monofilament), synthetic, bioabsorbable thread made from a polyester, and containing an agent to locally inhibit bacterial growth, intended to approximate the edges of a soft-tissue wound or incision by stitching. It is designed with barbs along its length intended to facilitate tissue approximation by adding tension, a fixation feature (e.g., tab, loop, bidirectional barbs) intended to eliminate the need to tie a knot, and may include disposable suture application devices [e.g., needle, passer]. The thread provides extended temporary wound support, until the wound sufficiently heals to withstand normal stress, and is absorbed by hydrolysis. This is a single-use device.
