Monofilament polydioxanone construction

Composed of 100% homopolymer of polydioxanone in a single-strand monofilament design, offering a smooth surface that passes through tissue with minimal drag.

Triclosan antibacterial coating

Coated with triclosan, an antibacterial agent intended to inhibit bacterial colonization of the suture at the site of application.

Predictable hydrolytic absorption

Absorbed through a simple hydrolytic mechanism, providing a predictable absorption process suited to procedures requiring extended wound support.

Extended wound support

Suited to soft-tissue approximation where longer-term tissue holding is desired, including oncology, geriatric and comparable extended-support applications.

Broad USP size range

Available in sizes from 6-0 through 2, allowing surgeons to match suture gauge to the tissue and procedure requirements.

Low tissue reactivity

Characterized in testing as Grade-1 with slight tissue reactivity, and supplied dyed violet for clear visibility in the surgical field.

What Duracryl Plus Is

Duracryl Plus is a sterile, synthetic monofilament absorbable suture composed of 100% homopolymer of polydioxanone. It is coated with triclosan, an antibacterial agent intended to inhibit bacterial colonization of the suture. The suture is supplied dyed in violet to aid visibility within the surgical field and is indicated for general soft-tissue approximation and/or ligation.

Composition and Construction

The suture is manufactured from polydioxanone in a monofilament configuration. Because it is a single-strand construction, Duracryl Plus offers a smooth surface profile that passes through tissue with minimal drag. Absorption occurs through a simple hydrolytic mechanism, and the absorption process is predictable. In tissue-reaction testing it is characterized as Grade-1 with slight reactivity.

Characteristics and Handling

As a monofilament polydioxanone suture, Duracryl Plus is suited to procedures where extended wound support is desired, including applications requiring longer-term tissue approximation. The triclosan coating is intended to inhibit bacterial colonization of the suture itself. Needles supplied with the product are made from 300-series alloy steel, and needle profiles include round-body and cutting geometries to suit varied tissue types.

Presentations

Duracryl Plus is available across a broad range of USP sizes from 6-0 through 2, allowing selection appropriate to the tissue and procedure. It is offered in multiple needle profiles, needle lengths and suture lengths, supplied in armed (needled) configurations for a variety of surgical applications.

What is Duracryl Plus made of?

Duracryl Plus is a synthetic monofilament absorbable suture composed of 100% homopolymer of polydioxanone. It is coated with triclosan, an antibacterial agent, and is supplied dyed in violet for visibility within the surgical field.

What is Duracryl Plus used for?

Duracryl Plus is indicated for general soft-tissue approximation and/or ligation. Its monofilament polydioxanone construction makes it suited to applications where extended wound support is desired, such as oncology and geriatric procedures requiring longer-term tissue approximation.

How is Duracryl Plus absorbed?

The suture is absorbed through a simple hydrolytic mechanism. Because it relies on hydrolysis rather than enzymatic breakdown, the absorption process is predictable, supporting its use where prolonged wound support is required.

What does the triclosan coating do?

Duracryl Plus is coated with triclosan, a broad-spectrum antibacterial agent that inhibits bacterial colonization of the suture. Triclosan-coated sutures are well studied—the WHO Global Guidelines for the Prevention of Surgical Site Infection suggest their use for the purpose of reducing the risk of surgical site infection, independent of the type of surgery (a conditional recommendation, based on moderate-quality evidence). Approved indications for this product are stated in the instructions for use and vary by market.

What sizes are available?

Duracryl Plus is available across a broad range of USP sizes, from 6-0 through 2. This range allows clinicians to select an appropriate gauge for the tissue and procedure, and the product is offered in multiple needle profiles and lengths.

Is Duracryl Plus supplied sterile?

Yes. Duracryl Plus is supplied sterile in armed (needled) configurations for single use. Each unit is presented in packaging designed to maintain sterility until the point of use in the operating environment.

What needles are supplied with Duracryl Plus?

Needles supplied with Duracryl Plus are made from 300-series alloy steel and are available in a range of profiles, including round-body and cutting geometries, with varying needle lengths to suit different tissue types and surgical applications.

How can distributors obtain product documentation?

Distributors and procurement teams can request detailed specifications, size and code listings, and regulatory documentation directly from Dolphin Sutures. Please contact the Futura Medtech team to discuss availability, ordering and supporting documentation for your market.
