DESCRIPTION:

EGYCRYL is a sterile synthetic absorbable suture based on copolymer made from *0% Glycolide and *0% L-Lactide.

EGYCRYL sutures coated with equal combination of copolymer (Glycolide and Lactide) and calcium stearate. The sutures are available dyed violet D&C #2(CI ****5) and undyed. EGYCRYL complies with the requirement of USP and EP.

INDICATIONS:

EGYCRYL sutures are intended for use in general soft tissues approximation &/or ligation including ophthalmic surgery, peripheral nerve anastomosis and microsurgery for vessels less than 2mm diameter.  

APPLICATION:

Depending on patient condition and surgeon experience, needle and suture size can be selected

PERFORMANCE :

EGYCRYL sutures elicits a minimal tissue reaction and in growth of fibrous connective tissue.

Absorption occurs by means of hydrolysis, where the copolymer degrades to glycolic and lactic acids which are subsequently absorbed and metabolized in the body. Absorption begins as a loss of tensile strength and end by a total loss of mass.

Note: Complete absorption will be essentially done after ****0 days. Above percents are averages with respect of  USP size difference. 

CONTRAINDICATIONS:

As all absorbable suturesEGYCRYLis contraindicated where extended approximation of tissue under stress is required.

WARNINGS & PRECAUTIONS:

 Under certain circumstances, notable procedures, immobilization of joints by external support may be employed at the discretion of surgeon.

The safety and effectiveness of EGYCRYL sutures in cardiovascular tissues have not been established.

Each USP size has its upper limits tensile strength (USP and EP), over stretch above this limits may lead to suture damage.

Acceptable surgical practice should be followed with respect to drainage and closure of infected wounds.

EGYCRYL sutures require the standard surgical technique of flat and square ties with additional throws if indicated by surgical circumsta
