PETCRYL MONO - POLIGLECAPRONE 25 SUTURE

Petcryl Mono is the brand name of Poliglecaprone 25 suture manufactured by Dolphin Sutures. Poliglecaprone 25 suture is monofilament synthetic absorbable suture which is a copolymer of glycolide and caprolactone.

Petcryl Mono has low tissue reactivity and maintains 50 to 60% in-vivo tensile strength at 7 days and 20 to 30% at 14 days. Total absorption in tissues takes around 90 to 120 days. Being monofilament, the suture is smooth, making it easier to pass through the tissues as compared to braided suture. It has a consistency close to nylon suture material. The suture is rarely used for percutaneous skin closure and is not used in areas of high tension. Petcryl Mono is similar to Monocryl sutures and has similar absorption profile.

Poliglecaprone 25 suture is generally used for soft-tissue approximation, subcuticular dermis closures of the face and as ligature. The suture is absorbed in tissues by simple hydrolysis and known for reliable absorption. Poliglecaprone 25 sutures are available in undyed and violet colour.

Features
- Poliglecaprone suture is a synthetic, monofilament absorbable suture.
- Poliglecaprone sutures are available from U.S.P. size 1 to size 6-0. Sutures are available in undyed (beige-golden) and dark violet colour.
- Poliglecaprone sutures are composed of polymers made from 100% homo polymer of 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.
Advantages
- These sutures pass through the tissues easily and since the suture is monofilament knotting is very easy.
- Petcryl Mono sutures have good knot security and easy knot placement.
- Petcryl Mono sutures are available with needles made from 300 series alloy steel for superior strength, sharpness and performance.
- Petcryl Mono sutures have excellent tensile strength and needle attachment strength.
