Polysorb Absorbable Sutures

Polysorb is Cardinal Health's braided, coated absorbable suture line, engineered for surgeons who need reliable knot security paired with predictable absorption. Made from a lactomer copolymer, Polysorb delivers the smooth handling and consistent tensile strength that closing multiple tissue layers demands — a familiar choice across general, gynecologic, and soft-tissue procedures.

Because it's braided, Polysorb ties down easily and holds knots firmly, and the coating reduces tissue drag as the suture passes through, so surgeons get controlled placement without the sawing feel of some monofilaments. Wound support is maintained through the critical healing window, with the material absorbing over roughly 56 to 70 days before being fully metabolized — no removal appointment required.

In this collection you'll find the Cardinal Health Polysorb Absorbable Suture (GL-322), a size 1 undyed strand on a 30-inch length, armed with a single 26 mm, 1/2-circle taper-point needle. The taper point is designed to spread rather than cut tissue, making it well suited to fascia, muscle, and other approximating closures where minimizing trauma matters. The undyed strand keeps the suture discreet against pale tissue, and the coated polyester braid gives you dependable feel from throw to throw.

When choosing a Polysorb suture, match the gauge to the tension of the tissue you're closing, the needle geometry to the layer, and the strand length to your working field. If you need a different diameter, needle curvature, or a dyed option for visibility, check the product specifications on each listing to confirm the exact configuration before ordering.
