Description
Dolphin Petcryl is a synthetic, absorbable surgical suture made from Polyglactin 910. It is designed for general soft tissue approximation and ligation. This braided and coated suture is an alternative to catgut sutures, offering predictable absorption and minimal tissue reaction. The suture is absorbed by hydrolysis and is completely absorbed between 56 to 70 days.
Synthetic Absorbable Material: Composed of a copolymer made from 90% glycolide and 10% L-lactide, which allows it to be absorbed by the body through hydrolysis.
Braided and Coated: The braided structure provides secure knot placement, while the coating allows for a smoother passage through tissues with minimal drag.
Predictable Strength and Absorption: Retains approximately 61% of its tensile strength after 14 days and is essentially absorbed completely between 56 to 70 days.
Minimal Tissue Reaction: Elicits only a slight tissue reaction during the absorption process, making it suitable for a variety of procedures.
Q: Is this a permanent suture?
A: No, Petcryl Polyglactin 910 is a synthetic absorbable suture. It is designed to be broken down and absorbed by the body over time through a process called hydrolysis.
Q: What is this suture made of?
A: This suture is a braided and coated synthetic material composed of a copolymer made from 90% glycolide and 10% L-lactide. The coating consists of a mixture of a copolymer of glycolide and lactide with calcium stearate.
Q: How long does it take for the suture to be absorbed?
A: The suture provides wound support for about 28 to 30 days. Complete absorption typically occurs within a period of 56 to 70 days.
Q: What types of surgical procedures is this suture used for?
A: It is indicated for general soft tissue approximation and ligation. This includes applications in ophthalmic surgery, gynaecology, gastrointestinal tract surgery, and orthopaedics.
Q: What is the purpose of the coating on the suture?
A: The coating provides a smoother surface, which allows the suture to pass through tissues with minimal drag. This contributes to easier handling and precise knot placement for the surgeon.

Key Benefits
The absorbable nature of the suture eliminates the need for a second procedure for suture removal.
Provides reliable wound support during the critical healing period, retaining significant tensile strength for up to 21 days.
Coating ensures smooth tissue passage, reducing tissue trauma and allowing for easy handling by the surgeon.
Causes minimal inflammatory response in tissues, which is beneficial for procedures where reduced scarring is desired.
Offers predictable absorption, allowing surgeons to plan post-operative care with confidence.
