Absorbable Sutures

Poliglecaprone 25 Suture (PGCL)

Monofilament synthetic surgical suture composed of glycolide and e-caprolactone copolymer

Poliglecaprone 25 sutures are monofilament synthetic absorbable sutures made from a copolymer of glycolide and e-caprolactone. The PGCL polymer has been found to be non-antigenic and non-pyrogenic, causing only a mild tissue reaction during absorption, making it an ideal choice for delicate tissue closure.

Certification Registration Number:

Properties
  • Suture size: USP 2 - USP 6/0
  • Colour: violet/undyed
  • Chemical composition: Poly(glyclolide-co-caprolactone)
  • Sterilization: ethylene oxide
  • Structure: monofilament
  • Tensile strength: approximately 60%-80% is retained after a week
  • Absorption time: complete absorption by hydrolysis within 90-110 days
Applications

Poliglecaprone 25 sutures are indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, but not for use in cardiovascular or neurological tissues, microsurgery or ophthalmic surgery.

Advantages
  • Poliglecaprone suture is a synthetic, monofilament absorbable suture.
  • Available in U.S.P. sizes 1 to 6-0, in undyed (beige-golden) and dark violet
  • Made from 100% Poly(glycolic-co-caprolactone) (PGCL)
  • Poliglecaprone sutures absorb by simple hydrolytic mechanism and absorption is predictable.
  • Poliglecaprone sutures retain about 50 – 60 % of the initial tensile strength at 7 days, 20 – 30 % of the initial tensile strength at 14 days of implantation and the suture is essentially absorbed within 90 – 120 days of implantation.
  • Poliglecaprone sutures pass through the tissues easily and since the suture is monofilament knotting is very easy.
  • Poliglecaprone sutures have good knot security and easy knot placement.
  • Poliglecaprone sutures are available with needles made from 300 series alloy steel for superior strength, sharpness and performance.
  • Poliglecaprone sutures have excellent tensile strength and needle attachment strength.
