Cassette-packed surgical suture from glycolide and ε-caprolactone copolymer (PGCL). A synthetic, monofilament, absorbable surgical suture in violet colour. Sterilised with Ethylenoxide (EO). Smooth and pliable, PGCL sutures provide high initial tensile strength, making them well suited as support for fast healing wounds.

CHARACTERISTICS
Glycolide and ε-caprolactone copolymer monofilament absorbable synthetic thread.

Short term tissue support – high initial tensile strength for rapidly healing tissues.
Predictable resorption – absorbed through hydrolysis over a defined period.
Minimal tissue reaction – biocompatible synthetic material with low tissue reactivity.
Smooth monofilament – passes through tissue with minimal drag and reduced trauma.
Highly pliable – easy to handle and conforms well to tissue contours.
Violet colour – high visibility against tissue for precise surgical procedures.
Reduced capillarity – minimal fluid wicking reduces fluid and bacterial transport.
Sterile packaging – safe for surgical use.

INDICATIONS
For veterinary use. Typically used for soft-tissue approximation and ligation in general surgery, subcutaneous and intradermal skin closure, ligation of small vessels for haemostasis, closure of delicate tissues, procedures in confined or difficult-to-access areas.

PACKAGING
Sterile, cassette-enclosed reel with a double security cap, packed in a paper box.

AVAILABLE VARIANTS
Cassette-enclosed reels of 25 m, 50 m and 100 m – USP and USP 2 (EP4 and EP5).
