Monofilament Poliglecaprone Suture (UNIGLYDE MONO)
Synthetic Absorbable Suture U.S.P (Sterilized Surgical Needled Suture)
Poliglecaprone Suture is synthetic absorbable sterile surgical suture composed of polymers made from 100% homo polymer of poly glycolide and caprolactone. It has been found non-antigenic, non-pyrogenic and exhibits slight tissue reaction during absorption. It is available in Undyed and Violet colour. It is dyed with CI solvent Violet No. 13. In house needle manufacturing provides better needles with optimum sharpness which finally delivers smooth riding on tissues during suturing.
INDICATIONS
Monofilament poliglecaprone suture is an ideal approximation suture for subcuticular closure. It retains 50%-60% of its tensile strength for 7days, 20%-30% for 14days, provides wound support for 21-28days and is absorbed through simple hydrolysis and completely get absorbed within 90-120 days. Absorption is predictable.
- Properties: Good flexibility, Reliable knot security, good knot placement, Smooth passage through tissue provides no trauma, excellent tensile strength.
- Poliglecaprone 25 sutures are used in general soft tissue approximation, subcuticular closure, also used for closure of peritoneum, uterus and vaginal cuff, Cosmetic surgery It is not recommended for use in cardiovascular surgery, neurological surgery, ophthalmic surgery and microsurgeries.

Question 1: What is Poliglecaprone Suture made from?
Answer: Poliglecaprone is a synthetic absorbable monofilament suture made from a glycolide and caprolactone copolymer. It is designed for smooth tissue passage and predictable absorption through hydrolysis.
Question 2: Where is Poliglecaprone Suture commonly used?
Answer: It is commonly used for soft-tissue approximation and subcuticular closure. It may also be considered for closure of the peritoneum, uterus or vaginal cuff, as well as selected cosmetic procedures.
Question 3: How long does Poliglecaprone provide wound support?
Answer: Poliglecaprone generally provides wound support for approximately 21 to 28 days. Complete absorption normally occurs within about 90 to 120 days.
Question 4: Why is Poliglecaprone suitable for subcuticular closure?
Answer: Its smooth monofilament surface produces low tissue drag and controlled passage through the wound. It also offers good flexibility and predictable absorption, which can be useful for buried or subcuticular closure techniques.
Question 5: What sizes, colours and needle options are available?
Answer: Poliglecaprone is available in different USP sizes, in violet and undyed options, and with a range of round-bodied, cutting, reverse-cutting, taper-point and straight needles. It may also be supplied without a needle.
