The Poliglecaprone Sutures is a monofilament synthetic absorbable surgical suture. While it is prepared from a copolymer of glycolide and epsilon caprolactone. The poliglecaprone 25 copolymer has been found to be nonantigenic and non pyrogenic and elicits only a slight tissue reaction during absorption.
However, the characteristics of poliglecaprone suture have high tensile strength and are synthetic and break down by hydrolysis and microscopic uniform diameter and pliability and softness and hermetically sealed packing.
While the benefits of poliglecaprone suture is excellent tissue support and Minimal tissue reaction with predictable absorption rate it is good handling properties and easy and secure knotting and guaranteed seal and product sterility.
The indication is superficial soft tissue and especially in general surgery, for skin closure plastic surgery etc. Poliglecaprone sutures are primarily used in soft tissue approximation, including use in gynecology, urology, and gastrointestinal surgery.
They are particularly favored in plastic and reconstructive surgeries, including skin closure, where a cosmetically appealing result is essential. The monofilament nature of the suture minimizes the risk of infection and ensures a clean, precise closure.
The monofilament structure allows for smooth tying and secure knots, critical in surgeries requiring precision. Orion Suture’s poliglecaprone sutures represent a sophisticated blend of surgical technology and material science, tailored to meet the demands of modern surgical procedures that prioritize rapid healing and minimal tissue reaction.
While they do present challenges in terms of handling and require a surgeon’s skill in knotting due to their lower initial tensile strength, the benefits they offer in terms of reduced tissue reactivity and excellent cosmetic results far outweigh these considerations.
Their rapid absorption rate aligns perfectly with the body’s natural healing processes, minimizing the duration of foreign body presence and thereby reducing potential complications. As such, poliglecaprone sutures are an invaluable tool in the surgical repertoire, providing a reliable and effective solution for a wide range of surgical applications where speed of recovery and minimal scarring are paramount.
