Suture Material DemeCAPRONE (Poliglecaprone 25) is a synthetic monofilament absorbable suture composed of Poly (glycolic-co-caprolactone) copolymer (PGCL) and is supplied violet and colorless. DemeCAPRONE (Poliglecaprone 25) is available in sizes 2 through 6/0. ACTIONS DemeCAPRONE (POLIGLECAPRONE 25) synthetic absorbable sutures elicit a minimal acute inflammatory reaction in tissues, which is followed by gradual encapsulation of the suture by fibrous connective tissue. PRECAUTIONS • Under some circumstances, notably orthopedic procedures, immobilization by external support may be employed at the discretion of the surgeon. • Skin sutures which must remain in place longer than 7 days may cause localized irritation and should be snipped off or removed as indicated. Subcuticular sutures should be placed as deeply as possible to minimize the erythema and induration normally associated with absorption.
