Meril Filapron Pgcl Und Cu Rc Suture - USP 5-0, PCL50 3204U, Pack of 12

Expiry Date: 31 October 2024

FILAPRON is a reliable choice for scarless sub-cuticular suturing. FILAPRON (Polyglecaprone 25) is a dyed/undyed short-term absorbable synthetic monofilament suture composed of poly (glycolide-co-caprolactone).

• RETAINS 60-80% KNOT TENSILE STRENGTH FOR UP TO 7 DAYS
• COMPLETE MASS ABSORPTION WITHIN 90 TO 120 DAYS

Benefit of Meril FILAPRON:

• Short-term absorption profile
• High knot pull tensile strength
• Excellent Handling Properties

Indication

• Indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation where short term wound support is desired
  
• Preferred choice for subcuticular suturing
  

Polyglecaprone 25 is a synthetic, absorbable suture material commonly used in various surgical procedures. Composed of a copolymer of glycolide and epsilon-caprolactone, Polyglecaprone 25 exhibits excellent
tensile strength and knot security. Its absorption occurs through hydrolysis, and the suture typically retains approximately 50% of its strength at 7 days and is fully absorbed within 90 to 120 days. This suture type is widely employed for soft tissue approximation, particularly in surgeries where prolonged wound support is not necessary.
