Polyglactin Rapid Sutures | Petcryl Fast

PETCRYL 910 FAST - POLYGLACTIN RAPID SUTURE

• Features

  • Polyglactin 910 Fast suture is a synthetic, braided and coated absorbable suture.
  • Polyglactin 910 Fast sutures are available from U.S.P. size 2 to size 6-0.
  • Polyglactin 910 Fast sutures are composed of copolymers made from 90% glycolide and 10% L-lactide.
  • Polyglactin 910 Fast sutures are coated with equal parts of a copolymer of lactide and glactide with calcium stearate.
  • Polyglactin 910 Fast sutures absorb by simple hydrolytic mechanism and absorption is predictable.
  • Polyglactin 910 Fast suture retains approximately 50% of the tensile strength after 5 days and 0% after 10 -14 days and the suture is essentially absorbed within 35-42 days.

• Advantages

  • Petcryl 910 Fast sutures is specially coated with Poly (glycolide-Co-L-lactide) in order to create a smoother suture that will pass through tissue easily and since the suture is white (undyed) it can be easily visible during suturing.
  • Petcryl 910 Fast sutures have good knot security and it has easy knot placement.
  • Petcryl 910 Fast sutures are available with needles made from 300 series alloy steel for superior strength, sharpness and performance.
  • Petcryl 910 Fast sutures absorbs quickly, hence it is ideal in cases where short term tissue approximation is required.

• Packing

  • Polyglactin Rapid sutures are individually packed in a primary medical grade paper folder
  • Individually packed sutures are then packed in a tear-open or peel-open aluminum foil, with less than 300ppm moisture
  • Aluminum foils are further packed in a secondary medical grade paper pouch laminated with polyester laminated poly film
  • Sutures are further packed in small cartons made from premium 320 GSM Cyber XLPac in 12 suture pack
  • Boxes are further laminated in tamper proof film to protect it from dirt/dust
  • Further, the sutures are packed in an export worthy 7 ply master carton which can accommodate 100 boxes ( 70 x 30 x 30 cms) – weighing up to 9 to 10kg and 200 boxes ( 70 x 29 x 59 cms) – weighing up to 18kg

• Usage

  PETCRYL^® 910 FAST

  STERILE ABSORBABLE POLYGLACTIN 910 FAST SURGICAL SUTURE U.S.P

  DESCRIPTION

  Petcryl^® 910 Fast suture is a synthetic absorbable surgical suture composed of a co polymer of 90% lactide and 10% co lactide. The empirical formula of the co polymer is (C₂H₂O₂)_m(C₃H₄O₂)_n. The sutures are coated by Poly glycolide colactide and calcium stearate. The suture is available in undyed form. Petcryl^® 910 Fast sutures are available in range of gauge sizes and lengths, attached to stainless steel needles of varying types, sizes and shapes. Entire details of the product range are available in the catalogue. Petcryl^® 910 Fast complies with the requirements of the United States Pharmacopoeia monograph for “Absorbable surgical suture”.

  INDICATIONS
  Petcryl^® 910 Fast suture is indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation where only short time tissue approximation is required. Due to its short time absorption profile it is useful in skin closure, pediatric surgery, episiotomies, circumcision, closure of oral mucosa, ophthalmic procedures for conjunctiva surgeries.

  SELECTION CRITERIA

  PETCRYL^® 910 Fast sutures should be selected and implanted depending on the patient’s condition, surgical experience, surgical technique and wound size.

  PERFORMANCE

  Petcryl^® 910 Fast suture elicits a minimal tissue reaction and in growth of fibrous connective tissue. Absorption of bio absorbable suture occurs by hydrolysis: beginning with loss of tensile strength with loss of mass. Absorption pattern for suture when tested invitro:-

  Approx 64.0 % of the tensile strength at 7 days,

  Approx 31.9 % of tensile strength at 14 days,

  Approx 10.9 % tensile strength after 21 days and

  Approx 2.1 % tensile strength after 28 days.

  ADVERSE REACTIONS

  Adverse reaction, associated with the use of the device include transitory local irritation at the wound site, transitory inflammatory foreign body response, erythema and induration during the absorption process of subcuticular sutures. Like all foreign bodies, Petcryl^® 910 Fast suture may enhance an existing infection.

  CONTRAINDICATIONS
  Petcryl^® 910 Fast suture, being fast absorbable, should not be used where extended approximation of tissues under stress is required. Sutures shall not be used on patients with previous known allergic reactions to Polyglactin and calcium stearate.

  WARNINGS

  1. Surgeons should be familiar with surgical procedures and techniques involving absorbable sutures before employing Petcryl^®910 Fast suture for wound closure, as the risk of wound dehiscence may vary with the site of application and the suture material used.
  2. In surgery of the urinary or biliary tract, care should be taken to avoid prolonged contact of this or any other suture with salt solution, to prevent calculus formation.
  3. This suture many be inappropriate in patients suffering from conditions which may delay wound healing e.g., patient that are elder, malnourished or depilated. As this is an absorbable suture, the use of supplemental non-absorbable suture should be considered by the surgeon in the close of the abdomen, chest, joints or other sites subjects to expansion or requiring additional support.
  4. For single use only. Do not reuse, reprocess or re-sterilize. Reuse, reprocessing or re‐sterilization may compromise the structural integrity of the device and/ or lead to device failure which, in turn, may result in patient injury or illness.
  5. Reuse, reprocessing or re‐sterilization may also create a risk of contamination of the device and/or cause patient infection or cross‐infection, including, but not limited to, the transmission of infectious disease(s) from one patient to another.
  6. Contamination of the device may lead to injury, illness of the patient.

  PRECAUTIONS

  1. Acceptable surgical practice should be followed for the management of contaminated or infected wounds.
  2. Skin sutures which must remain in place longer than 7 days may cause localized irritation and should be snipped off or removed as indicated.
  3. Under some circumstances, notably orthopaedic procedures, immobilization of joints by external support may be employed at the discretion of the surgeon.
  4. Consideration should be taken in the use of absorbable sutures in tissues with poor blood supply as suture extrusion and delayed absorption may occur.
  5. Subcuticular sutures should be placed as deeply as possible to minimize the erythema and induration, normally associated with the absorption process.
  6. When handling this or any other suture, care should be taken to avoid damage from handling. Avoid crushing or crimping damage due to application of surgical instruments such as forceps or needle holders.
  7. Care should be taken to avoid damage while handling surgical needles. Grasp the needle in an area, one third (1/3) to one half (1/2) of the distance from the attachment end to the point.
  8. Grasping in the point area could impair the penetration performance and cause fracture of the needle.
  9. Grasping at the butt or attachment end could cause bending or breakage.
  10. Reshaping the needles may cause them to loose strength and make less resistant to bending and breaking.
  11. Users should exercise caution when handling surgical needles to avoid inadvertent needle stick injury. Discard the needles after use.

  STERILITY

  Petcryl^® 910 Fast sutures are sterilized by ethylene oxide. Do not re – sterilize! Do not use if package is opened or damaged! Discard opened unused sutures.

  STORAGE

  Recommended storage condition 10^oC-35°C, away from moisture and direct heat. Do not use after expiry date.

  DISPOSAL
