Meril Filapron #2-0 Polyglecaprone 25 Suture (PCL20 1602U) – Pack of 12

Description

Meril Filapron #2-0 Polyglecaprone 25 Suture

Meril Filapron #2-0 Polyglecaprone 25 Suture is a high-quality, short-term absorbable synthetic monofilament suture composed of poly (glycolide-co-caprolactone). It is specifically designed for scarless subcuticular suturing, making it an excellent choice for procedures requiring short-term wound support. This suture retains 60-80% of its knot tensile strength for up to 7 days, providing reliable support during the initial healing period. It is completely absorbed within 90 to 120 days through a predictable hydrolysis process.

The suture offers several key benefits, including a short-term absorption profile, high knot pull tensile strength, and excellent handling properties, which facilitate smooth passage through tissues and secure knot tying. It is indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation where short-term wound support is desired, and is particularly preferred for subcuticular suturing. The Meril Filapron #2-0 Polyglecaprone 25 Suture is available in both dyed and undyed versions, allowing for versatility in various surgical applications.

Key Features

• Short-Term Absorption: Designed to be fully absorbed within 90 to 120 days, suitable for procedures requiring temporary wound closure.
• High Knot Pull Tensile Strength: Retains 60-80% of its strength for up to 7 days, ensuring strong initial support during the critical healing phase.
• Excellent Handling Properties: Facilitates smooth passage through tissues, making it easy to handle and tie secure knots, essential in delicate dental surgeries.
• Minimal Tissue Reaction: Composed of poly (glycolide-co-caprolactone), which minimizes tissue inflammation and promotes optimal healing.
• Versatile Options: Available in both dyed and undyed versions, accommodating different surgical preferences and enhancing visibility during procedures.
• Ideal for Subcuticular Suturing: Specifically designed for scarless subcuticular suturing, providing an aesthetic advantage in dental surgeries.
• Reliable Performance: Ensures consistent and predictable absorption, reducing the need for suture removal and enhancing patient comfort.

Directions for Use

• Preparation: Ensure the sterile packaging is intact before use. Prepare the surgical site following standard aseptic procedures.
• Handling the Suture: Carefully remove the suture from the sterile packaging using aseptic techniques. Avoid using surgical instruments that could damage the suture material.
• Suturing Technique: Select the appropriate needle size and shape for the specific dental procedure. Insert the needle through the tissue at the desired point, ensuring smooth passage to minimize tissue trauma. Make the necessary sutures, taking care to tie secure knots.
• Knot Tying: Use standard knot-tying techniques to ensure knot security. The monofilament structure provides reliable knot security, but care should be taken to ensure knots are properly tied to avoid slippage.
• Cutting the Suture: Once the knot is secured, trim the suture ends to an appropriate length using sterile scissors.
• Post-Operative Care: Monitor the surgical site for signs of infection or adverse reactions. Advise the patient on proper oral hygiene to maintain the surgical site and prevent complications.
• Absorption and Healing: Inform the patient that the suture will gradually lose strength and be absorbed by the body within 90 to 120 days. Regular follow-up visits should be scheduled to monitor the healing process and address any concerns.
• Disposal: Dispose of any unused suture material and packaging according to local regulations for medical waste.
• Precautions: Ensure the patient is not allergic to poly (glycolide-co-caprolactone) or any other components of the suture. Avoid using the suture in infected or contaminated areas to minimize the risk of complications. Be cautious when using the suture in patients with compromised healing capabilities.
