Surgimedic - Model SUTCRYL -Absorbable Polyglycolic Acid Sutures
FromSurgimedic
SUTCRYL is a type of absorbable suture designed primarily for general and specialized surgical applications. Made from a braided and coated multifilament composition, it utilizes a polyglactine 910 copolymer consisting of 90% glycolide and 10% L-lactide. For optimal functionality, the sutures are coated with polycaprolactone and calcium stearate, enhancing their smooth passage through tissue with minimal reaction. The material is distinctive in its violet color and provides consistent tensile strength, retaining 75% at the end of the second week and 50% after three weeks. Ideal for soft tissue approximation or ligation in various surgeries including skin, gastrointestinal, plastic, gynecological, and ophthalmic, it completes its absorption process over 56 to 70 days due to hydrolysis. Contrarily, it is not suited for cardiovascular or neurosurgery where prolonged wound support might be necessary. Available in sizes ranging from USP 6/0 to 2, SUTCRYL meets diverse surgical needs and can be supplied with needles, customizable in packaging quantities.Most popular related searches

- High tensile strength.
- Excellent handling.
- Excellent knot security.
- Excellent tissue support.
- Smooth passage through the tissues.
Absorption
The hydrolytic action by which the material is broken down results in total absorption in approximately 56 to 70 days. The material retains approximately 75% of its initial tensile strength at the end of second week.
Approximately 50% of tensile strength remain after three weeks
General soft tissue closing and/or ligation especially in
- General surgery.
- Skin closure.
- Gastrointestinal surgery.
- Plastic surgery.
- Gynaecology.
- Urology.
- Ophthalmic surgery.
Contradiction
Cardiovascular surgery and neurosurgery. Since it is an absorbable suture; It should not to use when an extended wound support is required.
Packaging
SUTCRYL is available in USP sizes 6/0 through 2 (metric sizes 0.7-5.0). SUTCRYL is available with needles in one dozen boxes.
