ADVACRYL

ADVACRYL suture is braided synthetic absorbable sterile surgical suture composed of a copolymer made from 90% Glycolide and 10% L-lactide. Braided ADVACRYL suture is coated with a mixture composed of Poly (Glycolide-co-lactide) (Glacomer 37) and calcium stearate. The suture is colored violet to increase visibility and is also available undyed.


The advanced extrusion process of copolymer, the exclusive braiding process and coating system, gives ADVACRYL:

Premium Needles for consistent Superior Performance

  • DURABLE COAT RETAINS SHARPNESS…PASS AFTER PASS

    Maintains needle sharpness over the duration of procedure, resulting into consistent penetration pass after pass thus less potential for tissue trauma.

  • RIBBED BODY FOR SUPERIOR CONTROL

    For superior grasping and stability of needle in needle forceps.

  • CHAMFERING MINIMUM SUTURE DETACHMENT

    Diminishes chances for suture fracturing at the swage, by rounding off the sharp edges of the barrel in the swage area of the needle.

  • ELECTROPOLISHING SMOOTH & BRIGHT

    Makes needle surface free from micro asperities, thus creates ultra sharp edges for lesser tissue drag.

  • ADVACRYL suture is a braided, synthetic absorbable sterile surgical suture composed of a copolymer made from 90% glycolide and 10% L-lactide, coated with a mixture composed of Poly (glycolide-co-lactide) (Glacomer 37) and calcium stearate. ADVACRYL suture is available in both dyed and undyed form.

  • ADVACRYL suture is indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, including use in ophthalmic surgery, peripheral nerve anastomosis and micro surgery for vessels less than 2 mm diameter, but not for cardiovascular tissues.

  • ADVACRYL suture being an absorbable suture, should not be used where extended approximation of tissue under stress is required. The use of this suture is also contraindicated in patients with known sensitivities or allergies to Polyglactin 910.

  • The progressive loss of tensile strength and eventual absorption of ADVACRYL 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 followed by a loss of mass.
