- These synthetic absorbable sutures are indicated for general soft tissue approximation and ligation where extended wound support is needed, but an absorbable material is desired
Uses
- General Soft Tissue Closure:
- Used across various surgical specialties for soft tissue that heals rapidly
- Subcuticular Closures:
- The smooth monofilament structure and predictable absorption make it suitable for deep closures
- Oral Surgery/Periodontics:
- Used in procedures requiring high initial strength and extended strength retention of up to 3 weeks
- Pediatric Surgery:
- Suitable for applications where an absorbable suture is needed and removal is not desired
Features
- Suture Material:
- Monofilament Poliglecaprone 25 (PGCL)
- Absorbability:
- Absorbable, with absorption typically complete between 90 to 120 days
- Tensile Strength:
- Maintains high initial tensile strength for approximately 14 to 21 days
- Needle:
- Features an ultra-sharp, silicone-coated 24mm, 3/8 circle reverse cutting (PS-1) needle made of reinforced UNIALLOY™ 300 series stainless steel
- Suture Size and Color:
- Size 2-0 with a 27-inch undyed (clear) thread
- Needle Technology:
- Utilizes "Precision Point" and "MULTICUT" technology to ensure clean penetration and sharpness retention
Benefits
- Minimal Tissue Trauma:
- The smooth, monofilament surface allows for atraumatic passage through tissues, reducing drag and tissue injury
- Predictable Performance:
- Offers a reliable and predictable absorption profile and consistent strength retention, allowing surgeons to plan recovery phases accurately
- High Needle Quality:
- The advanced needle technology ensures the needle remains sharp and strong three times longer than regular needles, even during demanding procedures
- Reduced Infection Risk:
- The non-wicking monofilament structure helps eliminate bacterial migration along the suture line, contributing to lower infection incidence
- Excellent Handling:
- The material has very low shape memory and good pliability, making it easy to handle and allowing for precise knot placement
- Patient Safety:
- Minimal tissue reaction promotes better healing, and the material is non-toxic, unlike some gut sutures
