Dolphin Petcryl Polyglactin 910 Coated & Braided Suture (DS 2382) (2-0) (90 cm) - Violet
Netmeds First Membership
Description
Dolphin Petcryl is a synthetic, absorbable surgical suture made from Polyglactin 910, a copolymer of 90% glycolide and 10% L-lactide. This braided and coated suture is intended for general soft tissue approximation and ligation. Its predictable absorption by hydrolysis makes it a reliable alternative to traditional catgut sutures, as it eliminates the need for suture removal and is associated with minimal tissue reaction. The violet color enhances visibility during surgical procedures.
Synthetic Absorbable Material: Composed of a copolymer made from 90% glycolide and 10% L-lactide, ensuring predictable absorption and minimal tissue reaction.
Braided and Coated Design: The braided structure provides secure knot placement, while the coating allows for smooth passage through tissue, minimizing trauma.
Predictable Absorption Profile: It is completely absorbed in 56 to 70 days through hydrolysis, removing the need for a second procedure for suture removal.
Adequate Tensile Strength: Retains approximately 70% of its initial tensile strength for up to 14 days post-implantation, providing support during the critical healing period.
Enhanced Visibility: Dyed with a violet color for better visibility during surgical procedures.
Q: Is Petcryl an absorbable suture?
A: Yes, Petcryl is a synthetic absorbable suture. It is designed to be broken down by the body over time through hydrolysis, so there is no need for suture removal.
Q: What is Petcryl suture made of?
A: This suture is composed of a copolymer made from 90% glycolide and 10% L-lactide. It is a braided and coated material, with the coating consisting of a copolymer of lactide and glycolide with calcium stearate to allow for smooth passage through tissues.
Q: How long does it take for this suture to absorb?
A: The suture is essentially absorbed completely between 56 to 90 days. It retains approximately 70% of its initial strength after 14 days of implantation.
Q: What types of surgical procedures is this suture used for?
A: Petcryl Polyglactin 910 sutures are indicated for general soft tissue approximation and ligation. This includes applications in general surgery, obstetrics/gynecology, ophthalmic surgery, and gastrointestinal tract surgery. However, its use in cardiovascular tissue has not been established.
Q: What does the suture size '2-0' indicate?
A: The '2-0' refers to the diameter of the suture thread. Suture sizing is standardized, and a '2-0' size is typically used for closing thicker skin, fascia, or muscle layers where there is some tension. It is always advisable for the selection to be based on the patient's condition and the surgeon's experience and technique.
