Poliglecaprone Sutures

ORYL MONO (Poliglecaprone 25) suture is a monofilament synthetic absorbable surgical suture prepared from a copolymer of glycolide and epsilon-caprolactone. Poliglecaprone 25 copolymer has been found to be nonantigenic, non pyrogenic and elicits only a slight tissue reaction during absorption

Type :                    Monofilament

Material :              Poliglecaprone 25, a copolymer made of 75% glycolide and 25% Caprolactone

Color :                   Violet

Tissue reaction :   Minimal

Absorption :         The hydrolytic action by which the material is broken down results in total 

                              absorption in approximately 90 to 120 days. Approximately 60% of tensile 

                              strength remains after 7 days.

Tensile Strength :  50% tensile strength is retained for 14 days.

USP Range :          4/0 - 2

Sterilization :         EO (Ethylene Oxide)

Needle Type :         Round bodied, cutting edge, taper point, straight, blunt point

Packing :               In aluminium foil packages with or without needle

Characteristics Of Poliglecaprone Sutures:

• High tensile strength
  
• Synthetic
  
• Breaks down by hydrolysis
  
• Monofilament with
  
• microscopic uniform
  
• diameter
  
• Pliability and softness
  
• Hermetically sealed packing
  

Benefits Of Poliglecaprone Sutures:

• Excellent tissue support
  
• Minimal tissue reaction
  
• Predictable absorption rate
  
• Soft passage through the tissues without sawing, tissue drag and trauma Absence of capillarity (no support of bacterial growth) Excellent knot tie down
  
• Good handling properties, Easy and secure knotting
  
• Guaranteed seal and product sterility
  

Indications Of Poliglecaprone Sutures:

Superficial soft tissue and/or ligation especially in General surgery, Skin closure, Plastic surgery,

Gastrointestinal surgery, Gynaecology, Urology

Contraindications Of Poliglecaprone Sutures:

• Cardiovascular surgery
  
• Neurosurgery
  
• Ophthalmic surgery
  
• Being absorbable not to use when an extended wound support is required
