Poliglecaprone Suture is synthetic absorbable sterile surgical suture composed of polymers made from 100% homo polymer of poly glycolide and caprolactone. It has been found non-antigenic, non-pyrogenic and exhibits slight tissue reaction during absorption. It is available in Undyed and Violet colour. It is dyed with CI solvent Violet No. 13. In house needle manufacturing provides better needles with optimum sharpness which finally delivers smooth riding on tissues during suturing.
INDICATIONS
Monofilament poliglecaprone suture is an ideal approximation suture for subcuticular closure. It retains 50%-60% of its tensile strength for 7days, 20%-30% for 14days, provides wound support for 21-28days and is absorbed through simple hydrolysis and completely get absorbed within 90-120 days. Absorption is predictable.
- Properties: Good flexibility, Reliable knot security, good knot placement, Smooth passage through tissue provides no trauma, excellent tensile strength.
- Poliglecaprone 25 sutures are used in general soft tissue approximation, subcuticular closure, also used for closure of peritoneum, uterus and vaginal cuff, Cosmetic surgery It is not recommended for use in cardiovascular surgery, neurological surgery, ophthalmic surgery and microsurgeries.
