Covidien EL-23-LN Surgitie Ligating Loop
Part # EL-23-LN Exp 4/17
The Covidien EL-23-LN Surgitie Ligating Loop consists of a narrow nylon carrier (3.9 mm O.D.) through which is threaded a 53 cm (21”) length of absorbable Polysorb™ suture size 0 or 2-0 (3.5 or 3 metric). The suture is anchored at the proximal end of the carrier (marked by a black band) and the carrier is scored. The suture extends from the distal end of the carrier in the form of a loop, having a sliding knot which secures itself when tightened. A delivery system may be used (5 mm O.D. x 15.24 cm long) for the introduction of the loop and carrier into any appropriately sized trocar sleeve or larger sized trocar sleeve with the use of a converter.
Polysorb sutures are composed of Lactomer glycolide/lactide copolymer, which is a synthetic polyester derived from glycolic and lactic acids. Polysorb™ sutures are prepared by coating the suture with a caprolactone/glycolide copolymer mixture of caprolactone/glycolide copolymer and calcium stearoyl lactylate. Polysorb™ sutures are colored violet to increase visibility. Polysorb™ sutures meet all requirements established by the United States
