Long-term absorbable monofilament suture made of polydioxanone for maximum tissue support and excellent wound healing

⏱️

Long-term Absorption

Luxcryl PDO offers an extended absorption time of 180-210 days through hydrolytic processes. Ideal for deeper tissue closures and structures requiring longer-term support, while its high initial strength guarantees safe wound healing.

💪

Excellent Tensile Strength

With 70% remaining tensile strength after 28 days and 50% after 42 days, Luxcryl PDO offers excellent, long-lasting tensile strength for structural closures that require reliable support over an extended period.

🔄

Monofilament Precision

The monofilament structure made of polydioxanone minimizes the risk of wound infection and offers optimal handling characteristics. The material glides gently through the tissue, causing minimal tissue trauma, while ensuring precise and reliable sutures.

Optimized for long-term structural support

Luxcryl PDO has been specially developed for procedures where an extended absorption time and long-lasting tensile strength are crucial. The slow hydrolytic action offers significant advantages, especially for deeper tissue closures, fascia, and structural sutures: reliable wound support, optimal healing conditions, and excellent long-term results. Thanks to its remarkable combination of initial strength and slow decrease in tensile strength, Luxcryl PDO is ideal for demanding surgical procedures in general surgery, gastrointestinal surgery, orthopedics, abdominal wall closures, and reconstructive surgery.

Pros and cons

Deeper
Structural Tissue Closures:
Fascia
aponeurosis sutures
especially for abdominal wall closures
Closure of deeper muscle layers with high mechanical stress
Gastrointestinal anastomoses
sutures in all sections of the GI tract
Gastrointestinal anastomoses with extended healing requirements
Orthopedic procedures with extended support requirements
Ophthalmic surgery where longer tissue repair support is needed
Gynecological closures
especially in deeper tissue layers
Urological reconstructions with high support requirements
Specific Clinical Situations:
Procedures where a longer resorption time (180-210 days) is desired
Situations requiring reliable tensile strength over an extended period
Patients with delayed wound healing (e.g.
elderly patients
diabetics)
Procedures with high mechanical stress on the suture
Cases where a slow decrease in tensile strength (50% after 42 days) is advantageous
Closure in patients with metabolic diseases that impair wound healing
Applications where a monofilament is preferred
but longer support than with other absorbable materials is needed
Procedures with an increased risk of wound dehiscence or suture breakage
Special Advantages:
Long-term support for tissues with a slow healing rate
High initial strength
slow loss of strength
Use with significant tensile stress on wound edges
Minimization of wound complications in high-risk patients
Alternative to non-absorbable material where medium- to long-term support is needed
Suitable for tissues with extended healing processes
Ideal for structural closures requiring long-term stability
Advantageous in complex abdominal
pelvic reconstructions
