Brief Summary  

Study Name A prospective, observational, single-arm, open-label, multi-center, post-market clinical follow-up study to investigate the triclosanresistant pathogenic colonization on the FILAXYN AB Absorbable Poly(P-Dioxanone) Surgical Suture U.S.P. 

Short Title FILAXYN AB ABSORBABLE SUTURE 

Protocol ID, Version and Date MES/FILAXYN AB ABSORBABLE SUTURE_Version 1.0.0_15- Feb-2025 

Study Device FILAXYN AB™ ABSORBABLE POLY(P-DIOXANONE) SURGICAL SUTURE U.S.P

Rationale of the Study An absorbable suture is a promising option when compared to non-absorbable sutures in terms of reduced clinical time due to minimal postoperative visits and surgery site aesthetics. Absorbable sutures are of fundamental importance in surgical outcomes. FILAXYN AB™ Absorbable Poly(P-Dioxanone) Surgical Suture U.S.P is a sterile synthetic absorbable monofilament suture
