12 individually packed 90 cm synthetic monofilament absorbable surgical sutures from glycolide and ε-caprolactone copolymer (PGCL), violet colour, swaged to a reverse cutting 3/8-circle needle or a 1/2-circle round needle. 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 threads.
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
Box of 12 individually sterilized pouches with swaged (crimped) needle.
AVAILABLE VARIANTS
USP 4/0 to USP 2/0 (or EP1.5 to EP3) with reverse cutting 3/8-circle needle (19mm, 26mm); and USP 4/0 to USP 0 (or EP1.5 to EP3.5) with round 1/2-circle needle (19mm, 26mm).
