Caprosyn. Monofilament synthetic absorbable SUTURE material.

Material Description: Caprosyn is made of synthetic
Polyglucine 6211 polyester, which consists of caprolactone, glycolide, tremellin carbonate and lactide.
Material characteristics:
• Strong and durable matching of wound edges during critical period wound support;
• predictable resorption times;
• Excellent manipulation properties;
• Excellent knot strength.
Indications: Caprosyn is intended for tissue matching and/or for alloying in general, plastic and cosmetic surgery, urology and gynecology. Use in cardiovascular surgery and neurosurgery, microsurgery and ophthalmology is not recommended.
Action: Caprosyn does not cause an inflammatory reaction in tissues, it is rapidly encapsulated.
Progressive loss of strength and final resorption of the Caprosyn suture occurs by hydrolysis.
Indications: Caprosyn is intended for tissue matching and/or ligation in general, plastic and cosmetic surgery, urology and gynecology. Use in cardiovascular surgery and neurosurgery, microsurgery and ophthalmology is not recommended.
Action: Caprosyn does not cause an inflammatory reaction in tissues, it is rapidly encapsulated.
Progressive loss of strength and final resorption of the Caprosyn suture occurs by hydrolysis.
Strength: Studies conducted in the field of subcutaneous Caprosyn suture implantation have determined that at least 50-60% of the node strength remains in the first 5 days and about 20-30% persists after 10 days after suture implantation. Complete loss of strength occurs by 21 days after implantation.
Resorption: The resorption process begins as a loss of strength without loss of mass. Ends by day 56.
Sterilization: Ethylene oxide.
Packaging: Caprosyn is produced only in a colorless version. Possible sizes range from USP1 (M4) to USP6-0 (M0.7). Sterile suture material is supplied in segments or with a loop, with various types of needles. Boxes of 12, 24 and 36 pieces.
