SMI A.G. SMI SURGICRYL® RAPID
SURGICRYL RAPID Manufacturer: SMI (Surgical Medical Instruments, Belgium) Material: Synthetic Type: Multifilament (braided) Composition: Polyglactin 910 (copolymer of glycolide and lactide in a 9:1 ratio) Coating: Polyglactin 370 and calcium stearate Color: Violet Tissue reaction: Minimal Absorption: Absorbable (completely in 42-56 days by hydrolysis) Tensile strength: 50% after 5 days, 0% after 10-14 days Needle: Various configurations available (DR, DS, DSP - 3/8 circle) USP: Various gauges available (6/0 - 0) – Length: 45-75 cm Primary Indications (Dental Surgery): Mucosal sutures with fast healing Routine oral surgery procedures (simple extractions) Superficial soft tissue closures Gingival adaptations Frenectomies (lip and tongue tie surgery) Minor periodontal surgical procedures Vestibuloplasties Excision of benign oral lesions Alveolar ridge surgery (superficial closures) Peri-implant soft tissue surgery (uncomplicated cases) Biopsy sites Mucosal wound closures after flap formation (well-vascularized areas) Pediatric oral surgery (fast absorption beneficial) Further Applications: Episiotomy, obstetrics, superficial skin sutures, plastic surgery (superficial layers), gynecology, urology, ophthalmic surgery (conjunctiva), general fast-healing soft tissues Advantages for Dentistry: Very fast absorption – ideal for well-vascularized oral mucosa Minimal suture presence – reduced foreign body sensation for patients No suture removal required – optimized for routine procedures Excellent knot security due to braided structure Smooth tissue passage due to coating Perfect for areas with rapid epithelialization (7-10 days) Reduced treatment time – no follow-up appointments for suture removal Particularly patient-friendly – ideal for anxious patients Minimal plaque accumulation due to fast absorption Excellent handling – easy to knot even with gloves Violet color for optimal intraoperative visibility Biocompatible – minimal inflammatory reaction Cost-effective for standard procedures Contraindications: Tissues with slow wound healing (>14 days until epithelialization) Situations requiring prolonged suture support Fascia or aponeurosis closures Heavily loaded sutures under tension Compromised wound healing (uncontrolled diabetes, immunosuppression) Patients with known hypersensitivity to polyglactin Complex periodontal surgical reconstructions Bone surgery or osteotomies (insufficient stabilization duration) Implant surgery with augmentation (requires longer support) Infected or contaminated wounds Large flap operations with delayed healing Cardiovascular or neurological tissue Areas with poor vascularization Special Features: SURGICRYL RAPID is the suture material of choice for routine oral surgery procedures where rapid epithelialization is expected. The extremely short absorption time (complete loss of tensile strength after 10-14 days) makes it ideal for well-vascularized oral mucosa, which typically shows primary wound healing within 7-10 days. After epithelialization is complete, no bothersome suture material remains, which maximizes patient comfort and minimizes the risk of plaque accumulation or tissue irritation. Important Note: Due to its very fast absorption, SURGICRYL RAPID is not suitable for procedures where wound support is required beyond 14 days. For complex regenerative procedures, augmentations, or areas with limited vascularization, suture materials with a longer absorption time (e.g., SURGICRYL PGA or SURGICRYL MONOFAST) should be preferred. Technical Notes: SURGICRYL RAPID is excellent for continuous suturing techniques and mattress suture variations in mucosal surgery. The braided structure offers excellent knot security even in moist conditions. Recommended knotting technique: Surgeon's knot + 2-3 single knots. Ideal for: Practices with high patient volume, pediatric oral surgery, mobile treatment units, situations where follow-up appointments are difficult to realize, patients with limited compliance.

SMI A.G. SMI SURGICRYL® Monofilament
Surgicryl® Monofilament Synthetic absorbable monofilament made of polydioxanone – maximum strength retention over the longest absorption time for tissues with extended healing requirements ⏰ Longest Absorption Time With 180-210 days of complete absorption, Polydioxanone (Monofilament) offers the longest support duration among synthetic absorbable materials. After 42 days, 50% of tensile strength remains – ideal for tissues with slow healing processes. 💪 Excellent Strength Retention After 28 days, Monofilament still retains 70% of its original tensile strength – significantly more than other absorbable materials. This lasting strength makes it the first choice for abdominal wall closure, orthopedics, and high-stress reconstructions. ━ Monofilament Advantages The smooth monofilament surface, without coating, completely prevents capillary action and minimizes tissue trauma. Its smooth passage through tissue without a sawing effect, combined with excellent knot-sliding properties, guarantees precise work. 🕐 Long-term stability for demanding procedures Surgicryl® Monofilament was specially developed for surgical situations where tissue needs more time to heal. The unique polydioxanone structure – a homopolymer of poly(p-dioxanone) – offers the longest strength retention among absorbable synthetic materials. While other materials lose significant strength after 3-4 weeks, Monofilament still retains half of its original tensile strength after 42 days. This property is crucial for obese patients, diabetics, immunosuppressed patients, or in abdominal wall closures where there is permanent mechanical stress. Absorption occurs uniformly and predictably via hydrolytic degradation over 6-7 months – long enough to ensure secure tissue support even with delayed wound healing, but short enough to avoid long-term complications from suture material. Monofilament thus bridges the gap between fast-absorbing materials and non-absorbable sutures.

The unique polydioxanone structure retains half of its original tensile strength after 42 days – significantly more than any other absorbable material. This property makes Monofilament indispensable for abdominal wall closures, orthopedic soft tissue reconstructions, and wherever delayed wound healing is expected in obese patients, diabetics, or immunosuppressed patients. The monofilament structure without capillary action minimizes infection risks, while uniform hydrolysis over 6-7 months proceeds predictably and reliably. With a comprehensive range from fine 6/0 sutures to robust USP 2, and a special 150cm loop configuration for laparoscopic procedures, Surgicryl® Monofilament is the safe choice when time heals.
