Polydioxanone

ALCADINONE sutures are synthetic absorbable sterile surgical sutures which are made of Polydioxanone.

ALCADINONE sutures when implanted into a living organism, it is absorbed by that organism and cause no undue tissue irritation. ALCADINONE sutures have been found to be non-antigenic, non- pyrogenic and elicit only a mild tissue reaction during absorption.

ALCADINONE sutures meet all requirements for synthetic absorbable surgical sutures specified at the European Pharmacopoeia (EP) and United States Pharmacopoeia (USP).

In order to ease of operation, ALCADINONE sutures are coloured FDA approved D&C violet No: 2. ALCADINONE sutures have been presented in USP 6/0 – USP 2 gauge sizes in a variety of lengths from 10 cm to 150 cm, as non-needled or attached to stainless steel needles of varying types and sizes.

ALCADINONE sutures are available as sterile, monofilament, dyed (violet) strands in sizes USP 6/0 through USP 2 (metric sizes 0, 7-5), in a variety of lengths from 10 cm to 150 cm with or without various needles.
