Vetsutures BIOLONG is an absorbable synthetic monofilament suture made from polydioxanone (PDO) — the material of choice when a wound needs prolonged support as it heals. BIOLONG combines high starting tensile strength with a slow, predictable loss of strength, making it ideal for tissues that take longer to recover.
As a smooth monofilament it passes through tissue with minimal drag and excellent sliding, for atraumatic placement and secure, easy knot tying.
Key benefits
- High starting tensile strength with extended wound support (up to ~6 weeks)
- Smooth monofilament for atraumatic passage and optimal sliding
- Easy handling and flexibility, with excellent knot security
- Predictable absorption by hydrolysis
Performance
- Tensile strength: retains ~70% at 4 weeks and ~60% at 6 weeks
- Absorption: complete in approximately 6–7 months
- Colour: violet · Sterilisation: ethylene oxide · Shelf life: 5 years
Indications: approximation and/or ligation of soft tissue; also used in paediatric cardiovascular, microsurgery, ophthalmic and orthopaedic procedures where extended absorbable support is required.
