GPCGLYDE MONO (poliglecaprone 25) suture is a monofilament synthetic absorbable surgical suture prepared from a copolymer of glycolide and epsilon-caprolactone. Poliglecaprone 25 copolymer has been found to be non antigenic, non pyrogenic and elicits only a slight tissue reaction during absorption.
Intended UseGPCGLYDE MONO sutures are indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, but not for use in cardiovascular or neurological tissues, microsurgery or ophthalmic surgery.
