DemeCRYL polyglactin 910 absorbable surgical suture - Suture, polyglactin

Intended purpose

DemeCRYL polyglactin 910 suture is indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, including use in ophthalmic surgery but not for use in cardiovascular or neurological tissue

Functional description

DemeCRYL sutures may elicit minimal acute inflammatory reaction in tissues, followed by gradual encapsulation of the suture by fibrous connective tissues. Progressive loss of tensile strength and eventual absorption occurs by means of hydrolysis. Absorption begins as a loss of tensile strength followed by a loss of mass.
