Description

This absorbable synthetic monofilament suture, made from poliglecaprone 25, is designed for effective wound closure in medical settings. Its primary function is to temporarily approximate tissue layers, facilitating healing in situations where suture removal would be challenging.

Key Features

• Absorbability: Gradually broken down by the body through hydrolysis, eliminating the need for removal. Complete absorption typically occurs within approximately three months.
• Monofilament Structure: The single-stranded design allows for smooth passage through tissue, reducing infection risk and minimizing tissue drag.
• Minimal Tissue Reactivity: As a synthetic suture, it causes less inflammatory response compared to natural absorbable sutures.

Ideal Applications

• Deep tissue closure
• Subcuticular suturing
• Temporary wound closure where removal is impractical

Handling and Storage

• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
• Employ aseptic techniques during handling and placement.

Considerations

This suture is not recommended for scenarios requiring prolonged tensile strength, as it loses strength relatively quickly. It provides less knot security and may be more challenging to handle compared to some multifilament sutures. However, its rapid absorption makes it suitable for tissues that heal quickly, helping to minimize scarring and inflammation.
