Polyglactin(Vicryl) sutures 1Rc.
Polyglactin Sutures are synthetic absorbable sutures composed of a copolymer of 90% glycolide and 10% L-lactide. They are widely used in various surgical procedures due to their reliable performance and biocompatibility.
Polyglactin(Vicryl) sutures 1Rc Features
- Absorbable in nature:Polyglactin sutures are designed to be absorbed by the body over time, eliminating the need for removal. This characteristic reduces patient discomfort and risk of infection associated with suture removal.
- Tensile Strenght: These sutures maintain approximately 75% of their Tensile strength at 14days post-implantation, providing Adequate support during the critical initial healing phase. Their strength diminishes over time with complete absorption occurring within 56 to 70 days through hydrolysis.
- Minimal Tissue Reaction: Polyglactin sutures elicit minal tissue Reaction making is suitable for use in sensitive areas.
- Excellent handling knot: The braided structure of polyglactin sutures provides excellent knot security and smooth passage through tissues, facilitating precise and secure wound closure
- Versatility in surgical Applications: Polyglactin sutures are used in a wide range of surgical procedures including general surgery.gynacology ophthalmic surgery, gastrointestinal surgery and orthopedic procedures however they are recommended for cardiovascular and neurological surgeries.
