Surgicryl® Polyglactine

Type – Braided and coated multifilament

Composition – Polyglactine 910, a copolymer made of 90% glycolide and 10%L-lactide

Coating – Poly-glycolide-co-L-lactide and calcium stearate (<1%)

Colour – Violet

Tissue Reaction – Minimal

Absorption – The hydrolytic action by which the material is broken down results in total absorption between 56 and 70 days. Approximately 50% of tensile strength remain after 21 days.

Benefits:

Excellent tissue support
Minimal tissue reaction
Predictable absorption rate
Excellent handling properties
High flexibility
High tensile strength
Excellent knot security
Soft passage through the tissues with minimal sawing,
tissue drag and trauma
Good knot tie down / adjustability
Reduced capillary action
