MADACRYL – Polyglactin 910 Absorbable Surgical Suture USP
MADACRYL Polyglactin 910 Absorbable Suture is a sterile, synthetic, braided surgical suture for general soft-tissue approximation and ligation. It contains Polyglactin 910, a synthetic absorbable copolymer of glycolide and lactide.
MADACRYL provides temporary mechanical support to approximated tissues during wound healing. Subsequently, hydrolysis gradually degrades and absorbs the suture after implantation. Therefore, routine suture removal is generally not required. However, healthcare professionals may remove exposed or residual suture material when clinically indicated.
Each MADACRYL suture measures 75 cm and comes attached to a surgical-grade stainless-steel needle. Moreover, the range includes USP sizes 1-0 through 6-0 with 3/8 circle reverse-cutting needles in different lengths. As a result, healthcare professionals can select an appropriate configuration according to the tissue, wound condition and surgical procedure.
Clinical Applications
- Dental and oral surgery – Supports soft-tissue approximation and ligation during suitable dental and oral surgical procedures.
- Extraction and surgical site closure – Provides temporary wound support during closure of extraction sockets and other suitable surgical sites.
- Periodontal surgery – Suitable for soft-tissue approximation during periodontal surgical procedures when an absorbable suture is clinically appropriate.
- Oral soft-tissue approximation – Helps maintain tissue approximation during the healing period.
- Temporary surgical wound support – Suitable for other surgical procedures where clinicians require temporary wound support with an absorbable synthetic suture.
Key Features
- Polyglactin 910 material – Made from a synthetic absorbable copolymer of glycolide and lactide.
- Absorbable by hydrolysis – The body gradually degrades and absorbs the implanted suture through hydrolysis.
- Braided construction – The braided synthetic structure supports controlled handling and knot placement during appropriate surgical procedures.
- Multiple USP sizes – Available in sizes 1-0, 2-0, 3-0, 4-0, 5-0 and 6-0 to meet different clinical requirements.
- Sterile needled suture – Each 75 cm suture comes sterile with an attached 3/8 circle reverse-cutting stainless-steel surgical needle.
Why Choose MADACRYL?
Synthetic Absorbable Polyglactin 910
MADACRYL contains Polyglactin 910, a synthetic copolymer of glycolide and lactide. Therefore, it provides temporary wound support while the tissue heals.
Gradual Absorption by Hydrolysis
Hydrolysis gradually degrades and absorbs the suture after implantation. As a result, routine suture removal is generally unnecessary. However, the clinician may remove exposed or residual material when clinically indicated.
Temporary Wound Support
MADACRYL provides temporary mechanical support to approximated tissues during wound healing. Therefore, it suits procedures where clinicians need absorbable rather than permanent wound support.
Wide Range of Sizes
The range includes USP sizes from 1-0 to 6-0 and needle lengths from 13 mm to 24 mm, depending on the selected reference. Consequently, clinicians can choose an appropriate configuration for different procedures.
Sterile and Ready for Professional Use
Each MADACRYL comes sterile with an attached surgical needle. In addition, each box contains 12 individually packed sterile surgical needled sutures for convenient clinical use.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is MADACRYL?
MADACRYL is a Polyglactin 910 absorbable surgical suture. It is a sterile, synthetic and braided suture for temporary soft-tissue approximation and ligation.
2. What is MADACRYL made from?
MADACRYL consists of Polyglactin 910, a synthetic absorbable copolymer of glycolide and lactide. In addition, each suture comes attached to a surgical-grade stainless-steel needle.
3. Is MADACRYL an absorbable suture?
Yes. MADACRYL is a synthetic absorbable surgical suture. Hydrolysis gradually degrades and absorbs the Polyglactin 910 material after implantation.
4. What is MADACRYL used for?
Healthcare professionals can use MADACRYL for general soft-tissue approximation and ligation. For example, applications include dental and oral surgery, extraction-site closure, periodontal surgery and oral soft-tissue approximation.
5. Does MADACRYL require suture removal?
Routine removal is generally not required because MADACRYL is absorbable. However, a healthcare professional may remove exposed or residual suture material when clinically indicated.
6. What type of needle comes with MADACRYL?
MADACRYL comes with a 3/8 circle reverse-cutting surgical needle. Depending on the reference, needle lengths include 13 mm, 19 mm and 24 mm.
7. What USP sizes are available?
MADACRYL comes in USP 1-0, 2-0, 3-0, 4-0, 5-0 and 6-0. Moreover, the corresponding metric sizes range from Metric 4 to Metric 0.7.
8. What is the length of each MADACRYL suture?
Each MADACRYL suture measures 75 cm. Furthermore, each suture comes individually packed and sterile with an attached surgical needle.
9. Can MADACRYL provide permanent wound support?
No. MADACRYL provides temporary mechanical wound support during healing. Therefore, healthcare professionals should not use it where prolonged or permanent tissue approximation under tension is required.
10. Can MADACRYL be reused or resterilized?
No. MADACRYL is sterile and for single use only. Healthcare professionals must not reuse or resterilize the product because doing so may compromise sterility and product performance.
