The Biocryl 1 braided round needle suture represents an advanced and reliable choice for tissue closure and stabilization during various types of surgical interventions. This type of suture is chosen in both general and specialist surgery, offering excellent safety, high tensile strength and manipulability. The braided line guarantees better handling than monofilament lines, minimizing the risk of knots slipping. The synthetic material from which it is derived, Biocryl, ensures biocompatibility and reduced risk of local adverse reactions. The round needle, being atraumatic, is ideal for suturing soft and very delicate tissues, preserving the integrity of the various anatomical planes without causing cuts or unnecessary damage, promoting faster healing and reducing post-operative pain. Packaged sterilely and as a single piece, this suture meets the highest safety and hygiene standards required in operating practice.
Therapeutic Indications
Biocryl 1 braided round needle sutures are ideal for a wide range of surgical procedures involving soft tissue. They are commonly used in general, obstetric, gynecological, urological, plastic, gastrointestinal surgery and abdominal surgery, where it is necessary to guarantee effective wound closure without excessive traumatism. Thanks to the round needle, it is particularly suitable for the most fragile tissues such as the peritoneum, intestinal mucosa, subcutaneous tissue and other soft tissues. It is also used in the suturing of muscles, medium caliber blood vessels and, in specific contexts, for the anastomosis of hollow viscera. Its braided profile accelerates and simplifies knot tying, making the procedure quicker and safer. This versatility makes it suitable for both emergency and scheduled interventions, where the reliability of the material and the reduced inflammatory response are priorities for the success of the surgical procedure and the prevention of post-operative complications.
Composition
Suture material: The Biocryl thread, of a braided synthetic nature, guarantees high performance from a mechanical and biological point of view during the entire period of its stay in the body.
The braiding process makes the material particularly manageable and facilitates the execution of secure and stable knots, while ensuring flexibility and adaptation to different types of fabrics.
Features of the needle: The round needle included in the package is designed to penetrate soft tissues with minimal resistance and without causing lacerations. Its particular shape allows controlled and uniform penetration, reducing tissue damage and promoting faster healing.
Sterility: The suture is individually packaged in a sterile manner, ensuring safety in use and eliminating the risks of contamination that could lead to infections in the surgical site.
Contraindications
The use of the Biocryl 1 braided round needle suture is not recommended in subjects with proven hypersensitivity or allergy to the components of the suture material. It must not be used in surgical procedures that require long-term support or in those tissues where degradation of the thread could compromise its seal before complete healing. It should also be avoided in areas where particular pathologies hinder normal healing processes, such as severe forms of immunodeficiency, infections or localized necrosis. It is not recommended for use in high caliber cardiovascular tissue or where permanent sutures are required. Furthermore, it is not recommended for use in ophthalmic surgery and microsurgery, where extremely thin wires of different materials are required.
Safety of the drug for the species
Biocryl is considered a highly biocompatible material and, therefore, well tolerated by most patients. The round needle prevents tissue trauma and promotes physiological healing. In preclinical and clinical studies, no significant adverse reactions related to the material were found in patients with normal immunoresponsiveness. Controlled degradation reduces the likelihood of foreign body reactions, prolonged inflammation or granuloma formation. However, in predisposed subjects, such as those who are immunocompromised or with a history of reactions to synthetic materials, it is necessary to pay attention and assiduously monitor the treated area after the operation. However, it remains important to report any adverse event in order to implement increasingly precise and targeted safety strategies.
Precautions
Particular attention must be given when handling the suture to avoid accidental breakage or loss of sterility. Operators must use gloves and strictly follow aseptic procedures, opening the suture package only immediately before use. It is advisable to store the package in a dry environment, away from heat sources and direct light, to preserve the integrity of the material. Use care when shaping the knots to avoid excessive tension which could compromise the tightness of the suture or the surrounding tissue. In the event of the onset of redness, swelling, abnormal discharge from the sutured area or other signs of local reaction, contact a doctor promptly for evaluation. Avoid allowing the suture to come into contact with non-sterile objects and remember that, once damaged or exposed, the suture should not be used.
Method of administration
The Biocryl 1 braided round needle suture is used through common surgical techniques for soft tissue closure. After opening the sterile package, the needle must be held firmly respecting the axis of its curvature, delicately inserted into the tissue to be sutured respecting the anatomical indications and the type of suture envisaged. The braided thread facilitates the formation and holding of knots, which must be tightened firmly but without damaging the structure of the fabric. The execution of the suture must guarantee an airtight and homogeneous closure, avoiding excessive compression to avoid local ischemia. When knotting, proceed according to good surgical practices, any ends of the thread must be appropriately cut and disposed of safely.
Treatment program
The use of the Biocryl suture with round needle depends on the therapeutic plan and the specific surgical procedure. Generally, it is kept in situ until the tissue is completely healed or in any case according to the indications of the specialist, who will establish the possible removal if it is non-absorbable material or in case of local complications (e.g. infection, excessive inflammatory reaction). In the case of planned interventions, the suture can be used individually or as part of a multi-layer suturing strategy, adapting to the anatomical needs and healing times of the various tissues. Post-operative monitoring is essential: correct inspection of the wound ensures that no infection or dehiscence develops. Furthermore, the suture can be combined with other medical devices (drains, gauzes, sterilizers) to promote optimal repair and reduce the risks of post-surgical complications. Any removal occurs according to healing and medical judgment.
Target species
The Biocryl 1 Braided Round Needle Suture is intended exclusively for use on adult and pediatric humans in hospital or outpatient settings, at the discretion and under the supervision of trained medical personnel. It is not suitable for veterinary use unless otherwise recommended by a specialized operator. Thanks to its safety, versatility and manageability characteristics, it meets the needs of multiple surgical specialties and is widely used in the suturing of both superficial and deep wounds.
