BULLCRYL™ (Polyglactin 910 Sutures)

The Industry Benchmark for Absorbable Braided Sutures, BULLCRYL represents the pinnacle of 38 years of polymer refinement at our USA facilities. Composed of a copolymer made from 90% glycolide and 10% L-lactide (Polyglactin 910), it is the workhorse of modern surgery. This synthetic absorbable braided suture is designed for surgeons who demand a balance between high initial tensile strength and smooth, predictable handling.

Technical Data & Benefits:

* Composition: Coated with a proprietary blend of Caprolactone and Calcium Stearate, BULLCRYL offers a “frictional-free” passage through dense tissue, significantly reducing tissue drag and trauma.
* Tensile Strength: It maintains approximately 75% of its original strength at two weeks post-implantation and 50% at three weeks, providing critical support during the most vulnerable healing stages.
* Absorption Profile: Complete mass absorption occurs via hydrolysis between 56 and 70 days, ensuring no long-term foreign body remains once the wound has regained its integrity.
* Precision Range: Available in USP sizes 5 to 8-0, with needles ranging from 4mm to 75mm in single and double-arm configurations.
* Benefits: The braided structure provides exceptional knot security and “first-throw” hold, making it ideal for general soft tissue approximation, including ophthalmic and orthopedic procedures.
