Sharpoint™ Suture Materials Guide

Absorbable Sutures

Catgut Made of first quality raw material, Catgut ensures a dependable and predictable absorption and an extremely high tensile strength. Every strand is precision polished to a uniform diameter, permitting smooth and secure knotting. Available in plain and chromic.		Surigical Gut™* SurgiGutSofsilk™**
Twisted Plain Chromic Packaged Dry or In Wetting Solution	In vivo strength retention: Varies	Mass Absorption: Varies depending upon type of suture (plain vs. chromic) and site of placement

* Comparable Ethicon™ material

** Comparable Syneture™ material

PolySyn™/Polyglycolic Acid (glycolic acid) The extraordinarily smooth, low friction proprietary coating reduces tissue drag. These synthetic absorbable sutures ensure closure through the critical wound healing period. They retain approximately 50% of their high initial strength at two weeks and 20% of their strength at three weeks. Available as undyed or violet braided and violet monofilament.		Vicryl™* Polysorb™/Dexon™**
Braided Undyed (clear) Dyed (violet) Monofilament Undyed (clear) Dyed (violet) Coated & Uncoated	In vivo strength retention: 50% at 2 weeks 20% at 3 weeks	Mass Absorption: Essentially complete between 50 and 90 days

PolySyn FA™ (glycolic acid) Developed for short-term closures, Sharpoint PolySyn FA is ideal for skin and mucosa closings that may benefit from fast suture absorption. An undyed, braided Polyglycolic Acid (PGA) suture, it maintains 50% strength at 5 days, 0% at 14 days and is essentially absorbed at 42 days. It is processed to absorb quickly with little tissue reaction.		Vicryl Rapide™*
Braided Undyed (clear) Coated	In vivo strength retention: 48% at 7 days 0% at 14 days	Mass Absorption: Essentially complete between 49 and 63 days

* Comparable Ethicon™ material

** Comparable Syneture™ material

Sharpoint™ Monoderm™ (glycolide and e-caprolactone) This synthetic absorbable monofilament has excellent pliability and handling characteristics. At 7 days it retains 50 - 60% tensile strength, 20-30% at 14 days and is essentially absorbed at 91 days. These characteristics make it very popular for subcuticular closure and soft tissue approximation. Available in undyed/clear or violet.		Monocryl™* Caprosyn™/Biosyn™**
Monofilament Undyed (clear) Dyed (violet)	In vivo strength retention: 64% at 7 days 40% at 14 days	Mass Absorption: Essentially complete by 90 days

Non-absorbable Sutures

Silk Noncapillary Silk has excellent handling and tying characteristics. Modern braiding technique provides a uniform smooth surface and a greater tensile strength. Available in black and white.		Permahand Silk™* Sofsilk™**
Braided Undyed (white) Dyed (black) Coated	Quality: Excellent handling & tying characteristics

* Comparable Ethicon™ material

** Comparable Syneture™ material

Nylon The monofilament Nylon is a polyamide suture with characteristic high tensile strength. The uniform smooth surface permits easy passage through tissue. Available in black, blue and clear.		Ethilon™* Monosof™/Dermalon™**
Monofilament Undyed (clear) Dyed (blue) (black) Packaged Dry or In Wetting Solution	Quality: Passes easily through tissue

* Comparable Ethicon™ material

** Comparable Syneture™ material

Polyviolene™ /Braided Polyester poly (ethylene-terephthatate) The fine braiding of Polyester gives this material an excellent smoothness. Easy to handle, its uniform surface minimizes the trauma. Its high strength and good knot security provide long-term wound support. Available in green and white.		Mersilene™/Ethibond™* Surgidac™/Ti-Cron™**
Braided Undyed (white) Dyed (green) Coated & Uncoated	Quality: Smooth Easy to handle Good knot security

* Comparable Ethicon™ material

** Comparable Syneture™ material

Polypropylene Inert, smooth, and easy to handle and knot securely, Polypropylene is our most versatile monofilament suture. Tensile strength is superior to other true monofilaments. In addition, a unique extruding technique ensures a uniformly round cross section and a strand that passes easily through tissue with better knot security with less throws.		Prolene™* Surgipro™/Surgilene™**
Monofilament Undyed (clear) Dyed (blue)	Quality: Inert Easy to handle Passes easily through tissue
