MAXON™ synthetic absorbable sutures are prepared from polyglyconate, a copolymer of glycolic acid and trimethylene carbonate. The advanced extrusion process of the molecule of polyglyconate gives the suture: Excellent in-vivo strength retention; Excellent knot tying security; Excellent handling; Minimal memory. MAXON™ synthetic absorbable sutures are indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, including use in pediatric cardiovascular tissue, where growth is expected to occur, and in peripheral vascular surgery. The Covidien Maxon™ Monofilament Synthetic Absorbable Sutures are the ultimate choice for long lasting wound support and strength during the critical stages of wound healing. 

The Monofilament construction minimises tissue drag and trauma as it allows for a smooth passage. The Maxon™ loop sutures can reduce closure time by up to 50 percent, which is twice the strength of a single strand. Maxon™ Monofilament Synthetic Absorbable Sutures are not indicated for use in adult cardiovascular tissue, ophthalmic surgery, and neural tissues.
