SURCRYL Absorbable Sutures – Trusted Polyglycolic for Safe & Reliable Healing
Absorbable Polyglycolic Acid Synthetic Braided Surgical Sutures
SURCRYL absorbable sutures is a violet, braided, and coated multifilament suture made of polyglycolic acid with polycaprolactone and calcium stearate coating. It offers high tensile strength, excellent handling, knot security, and smooth tissue passage. Absorbed in 60-90 days, it’s ideal for general soft tissue closure in various surgeries except cardiovascular and neurosurgery.
| Type | First and foremost, SURCRYL is a braided and coated multifilament absorbable suture, specifically engineered for superior handling, secure knotting, and smooth tissue passage. Moreover, as a premium absorbable surgical suture, it offers dependable performance in both general and specialized surgeries. |
| Composition | From a material standpoint, SURCRYL is manufactured from Polyglycolic Acid. Accordingly, it delivers predictable hydrolytic absorption with optimal tensile strength. As a result, this advanced formulation makes SURCRYL one of the most reliable Polyglycolic acid absorbable sutures available today. |
| Color | For enhanced intraoperative visibility, SURCRYL is available in violet color, which therefore improves precision during surgical procedures. |
| Coating | In addition, each suture is coated with a precise layer of Polycaprolactone and Calcium Stearate (1%), ensuring: Reduced tissue drag, and thus smoother passage Enhanced knot security, for greater surgical confidence Excellent handling during surgery, even in delicate procedures Consequently, this coating significantly improves performance compared to uncoated absorbable sutures. |
| Tissue Reaction | Importantly, SURCRYL causes minimal tissue reaction, thereby promoting safe, gentle, and comfortable healing. |
Absorption Profile of SURCRYL Polyglycolic acid Absorbable Sutures
With regard to absorption, SURCRYL absorbable sutures are absorbed by hydrolytic action, with:
- total absorption in approximately 60 to 90 days.
- About 70% tensile strength retention after 2 weeks
- Around 50% tensile strength retention after 3 weeks
- Therefore, this predictable absorption profile makes SURCRYL ideal for soft tissue approximation that requires temporary yet reliable wound support.
