Caprosyn synthetic absorbable suture’s quick absorption (56 days), durable polymer material and monofilament construction provide smooth passage through tissue, better approximation or ligation, and minimized potentiation of infection. Patients can experience less discomfort during healing, less wound complications and a faster recovery.

Caprosyn synthetic absorbable sutures have an absorption profile of 56 days. Caprosyn sutures feature a durable polymer material and monofilament construction which provide smooth passage through tissue, better approximation and ligation, and minimized potentiation of infection. Patients can experience less discomfort during healing and less wound complications which can result in a faster recovery. These sutures are colored violet to increase visibility and are also available undyed. Caprosyn sutures are indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation.
The advanced extrusion process of the molecule of Polygytone 6211 gives the suture:
Caprosyn sutures are indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, but not for use in cardiovascular or neurological surgery, microsurgery, or ophthalmic surgery.
The Importance of Speed for Recovery – Quick Absorption Can Lessen Wound Complications
Patients can experience less discomfort during healing. Caprosyn sutures quick absorption, durable polymer material and monofilament construction means smooth passage through tissue, better approximation or ligation, and minimized potentiation of infection. In other words, working toward a faster recovery for your patients.
Specifically, Caprosyn sutures deliver a much faster absorption rate than other USP synthetic absorbable sutures – essentially complete in 56 days.
CAPROSYN synthetic absorbable sutures are indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, but not for use in cardiovascular or neurological surgery, microsurgery, or ophthalmic surgery.
This suture, being absorbable, should not be used where extended approximation of tissue is required.
CAPROSYN synthetic absorbable sutures elicit a minimal acute inflammatory reaction in tissues, which is followed by gradual encapsulation of the suture by fibrous connective tissue. Progressive loss of tensile strength and eventual absorption of CAPROSYN synthetic absorbable sutures occurs by means of hydrolysis. Absorption begins as a loss of tensile strength followed by a loss of mass.
Subcutaneous tissue implantation studies in animals indicate that CAPROSYN synthetic absorbable sutures retain a minimum of 5060% USP and EP knot strength at 5 days post-implantation, and a minimum of 2030% of USP and EP knot strength at 10 days post-implantation. All of the original tensile strength is essentially lost by 21 days post-implantation.
Absorption begins as a loss of tensile strength without appreciable loss of mass. Absorption of CAPROSYN synthetic absorbable sutures is essentially complete by 56 days.
CAPROSYN synthetic absorbable sutures are available in USP sizes 1 (4 metric) through 6-0 (0.7 metric). They are available undyed (natural) and dyed (purple). The sutures are supplied sterile, in pre-cut lengths or ligating reels, non-needled or affixed to various needle types: in one, two, or three dozen boxes.
