Netmeds First Membership
Description
This Dolphin Petcryl Suture is a synthetic absorbable surgical suture made of Polyglactin 910. It is intended for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation. The braided and coated structure allows for dependable handling and secure knot placement. Its violet color enhances visibility during surgical procedures. This suture is designed to be absorbed by the body through hydrolysis, a predictable process that is typically complete between 56 and 70 days.
Synthetic Absorbable Material: Composed of a copolymer of 90% glycolide and 10% L-lactide, which is absorbed by the body via hydrolysis.
Braided and Coated Design: The braided construction provides for good handling and knot security, while the coating allows for smooth passage through tissues, minimizing tissue drag.
Predictable Strength Retention: Retains approximately 70% of its initial tensile strength for up to 14 days post-implantation, providing support during the critical healing period.
Violet Color for Visibility: Dyed violet to be more easily seen by the surgeon against the backdrop of tissue.
Sterile and Single-Use: Supplied as a sterile product intended for single use only to ensure patient safety.
Q: What is Dolphin Petcryl Polyglactin 910 suture?
A: It is a synthetic, absorbable surgical suture that is braided and coated. It is made from a copolymer of 90% glycolide and 10% L-lactide. The violet color is added for better visibility during surgical procedures.
Q: How long does this suture take to absorb?
A: This suture is absorbed by the body through hydrolysis, with complete absorption typically occurring between 56 and 70 days. It retains about 70% of its initial strength after 14 days of implantation.
Q: What are the common applications for a 2-0 size suture?
A: A 2-0 suture is generally used for the closure of thicker tissues like fascia and muscle. It is suitable for procedures that require strong closure, such as in abdominal or orthopedic surgeries.
Q: What are the advantages of a coated and braided suture?
A: The braided construction provides secure knotting, while the coating allows the suture to pass more smoothly through tissues with minimal trauma. This combination offers both good handling for the surgeon and reliable wound support.
Q: Is this suture suitable for all types of surgery?
A: Petcryl Polyglactin 910 is indicated for general soft tissue approximation and ligation, including ophthalmic, gynecological, and gastrointestinal surgery. However, its use in cardiovascular and neurological tissues has not been established. The choice of suture depends on the patient's condition and the surgical procedure.
