Indications, Safety, and WarningsIndicationsVelosorb™ fast absorbable sutures are indicated for use in soft tissue approximation of the skin, mucosa, and conjunctiva, where only 7 to 10 days of wound support is required, but not for use in ligation, cardiovascular, or neurological tissue.Warnings

Do not resterilize. Sterile unless packaging has been opened or damaged. Discard open, unused sutures. Store at room temperature. Avoid prolonged exposure to elevated temperatures.

In surgery of the urinary or biliary tracts, care should be taken to avoid prolonged contact of this, or any other, suture with salt solutions, as calculus formation may result.

Users should be familiar with surgical procedures and techniques involving absorbable sutures before employing Velosorb™ fast absorbable sutures for wound closure, as the risk of wound dehiscence may vary with the site of application and the suture material used.

As any foreign material in the presence of bacterial contamination may enhance bacterial infectivity, acceptable surgical practice must be followed with respect to drainage and closure of contaminated or infected wounds.

The use of this suture may be inappropriate in patients with any conditions which, in the opinion of the surgeon, may cause or contribute to delayed wound healing.

As this is an absorbable suture material, the use of supplemental nonabsorbable sutures should be considered by the surgeon in closure of the abdomen, chest, joints, or other sites subject to expansion or requiring additional support.
