Poliglecaprone 25 Sutures

01

Monofilament synthetic construction

A single-strand poliglecaprone 25 suture, a copolymer of glycolide and caprolactone, giving a smooth surface with a handling feel comparable to nylon monofilament material.

02

Predictable hydrolytic absorption

The suture is absorbed by a simple hydrolytic mechanism with a predictable profile and an approximate in vivo lifetime of 90 to 120 days after implantation.

03

Low tissue reactivity

Rated Grade-1, slight reactivity, the suture is designed to elicit minimal tissue reaction during absorption while facilitating ingrowth of fibrous connective tissue.

04

Reduced tissue drag

The smooth monofilament surface reduces tissue drag and sawing during passage, easing knot placement and making the suture straightforward to run through soft tissue.

05

Undyed or violet options

Supplied undyed in a beige-golden shade or dyed violet with D&C Violet No. 2, allowing selection based on visibility needs and the anatomical site of closure.

06

Broad size range

Available in USP sizes from 6-0 to 1, with or without pre-attached stainless steel needles in a range of profiles, lengths and shapes for varied procedures.

What Petcryl Mono Is

Petcryl Mono is the brand name of Poliglecaprone 25 suture manufactured by Dolphin Sutures. It is a monofilament synthetic absorbable suture composed of a copolymer of glycolide and caprolactone. Because it is monofilament, the suture is smooth and passes through tissue with reduced drag compared to braided materials, giving it a handling character close to that of nylon. It is intended for general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation.

Composition and Construction

The suture is composed of poliglecaprone 25 and is supplied uncoated, or in the antibacterial version coated with a mixture containing equal parts of a copolymer of glycolide and epsilon-caprolactone together with the broad-spectrum agent triclosan, intended to inhibit bacterial colonization of the suture. It may be supplied undyed (beige-golden) or dyed violet with D&C Violet No. 2 during polymerization. The product complies with United States Pharmacopeia (USP) requirements, or is made to manufacturer specifications where not marked to a pharmacopoeial standard.

Absorption and Handling

Petcryl Mono is absorbed by a simple, predictable hydrolytic mechanism, gradually losing tensile strength before mass is reduced. It is designed to elicit minimal tissue reaction during absorption, rated as Grade-1 slight reactivity. In vivo the product has an approximate lifetime of 90 to 120 days after implantation. The monofilament surface reduces tissue sawing, and good knot security is achieved with standard flat, square ties and additional throws as needed.

Sizes and Presentations

Petcryl Mono is available in USP sizes from 6-0 up to 1. Sutures are offered with or without a needle; where needled, needles are permanently affixed and made from stainless steel in a range of profiles, lengths and shapes to suit the procedure.

Contact Sales
What is Petcryl Mono made of?
Petcryl Mono is Poliglecaprone 25, a monofilament synthetic absorbable suture composed of a copolymer of glycolide and caprolactone. It is supplied uncoated, or in an antibacterial version coated with a glycolide and epsilon-caprolactone mixture together with triclosan. It may be undyed or dyed violet.
What is Petcryl Mono used for?
It is intended for general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, including subcuticular dermis closures of the face and use as a ligature. It is intended for use by qualified surgeons during procedures requiring absorbable monofilament suture support, at the surgeon's discretion based on the tissue and technique.
How is Petcryl Mono absorbed?
The suture is absorbed by a simple, predictable hydrolytic mechanism. It gradually loses tensile strength before its mass is reduced, and implantation studies in rabbits indicate absorption typically occurs between 90 and 120 days after implantation, giving an approximate in vivo lifetime of 90 to 120 days.
What sizes and needle options are available?
Petcryl Mono is available in USP sizes from 6-0 up to 1. It is supplied with or without a needle; where needled, stainless steel needles are permanently affixed in a range of profiles, lengths and shapes. Individual codes specify needle profile, needle length, suture length and suture size.
Is Petcryl Mono supplied sterile?
Yes. Petcryl Mono is supplied sterile and is sterilized by ethylene oxide. It is intended for single use only and must not be reused, reprocessed or re-sterilized. Do not use the product if the package is opened or damaged, as device contamination may result in patient injury or illness.
How should Petcryl Mono be stored?
Store the suture between 10 degrees C and 35 degrees C, away from moisture and direct sunlight or heat. Do not use the product after its expiry date. The product has a shelf life of three years from the date of manufacture when stored under the specified conditions.
What does the triclosan coating do?
In the antibacterial version, the suture carries a triclosan coating intended to inhibit bacterial colonization of the suture surface. It provides localized antibacterial activity on the suture itself. This coating is contraindicated where patient sensitivity to triclosan is known or suspected.
How can distributors obtain documentation and pricing?
Distributors, hospital procurement teams and international buyers can contact Dolphin Sutures (Futura Surgicare) for the Instructions for Use, product specifications, available size and needle codes, regulatory documentation and pricing to support tenders and registration in their markets.
