Description
Overview of the medicine
Surpolene-1-Round-Body-Polypropylene-Suture-Material is a non-absorbable, monofilament synthetic suture made from polypropylene. It provides excellent tensile strength and minimal tissue reaction, making it suitable for long-term tissue approximation and support. The '1-round-body' indicates it is attached to a #1 round-bodied surgical needle, typically used for soft, friable tissues.
Uses & Indications
Dosage
Adults
Selected based on surgical procedure, tissue type, and required tensile strength. Suture size (e.g., USP 1 to 10-0) and length are chosen by the surgeon. The '1-round-body' needle is suitable for delicate, friable tissues where minimal trauma is desired.
Elderly
No specific dosage adjustment; selection based on surgical need and tissue fragility.
Renal_impairment
N/A (not a systemic medication).
How to Take
To be administered by a qualified surgeon or medical professional during a sterile surgical procedure. Proper surgical technique, including knot tying and placement, is essential.
Mechanism of Action
This suture material provides mechanical approximation and support to tissues until the natural healing process is complete. It is biologically inert and does not undergo degradation in the body, thus offering permanent wound support.
Pharmacokinetics
Onset
Immediate mechanical tissue approximation.
Excretion
Not excreted by the body; remains permanently implanted.
Half life
N/A (not a drug, no half-life)
Absorption
Not absorbed by the body. Polypropylene is a non-degradable polymer.
Metabolism
Not metabolized by the body.
Side Effects
Contraindications
- Known hypersensitivity to polypropylene (rare)
- Not recommended where absorbable sutures are indicated
- Should not be used in infected tissues if alternative non-absorbable sutures with antimicrobial coatings are available, or where suture removal may be difficult after infection resolves.
Drug Interactions
No systemic drug interactions reported
Polypropylene is an inert material and does not interact with drugs metabolically or pharmacologically.
Storage
Store at controlled room temperature, in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and excessive heat. Do not use if sterile barrier is compromised.
Overdose
N/A (not a drug). Risks are related to surgical complications or inappropriate use of the device.
Pregnancy & Lactation
Polypropylene sutures are local surgical implants and do not have systemic exposure; therefore, they are considered safe for use during pregnancy and lactation when indicated for surgical repair.

Clinical Trials
Extensive clinical use and long-standing historical data support the efficacy and safety of polypropylene sutures. Specific trials may exist for novel coatings or specialized applications.
Lab Monitoring
- N/A (No specific lab monitoring required for the suture material itself). Monitoring is for post-operative recovery and potential complications.
Doctor Notes
- Ensure proper surgical technique and knot security to prevent knot slippage.
- Select appropriate suture size and needle type for the specific tissue and surgical indication.
- Handle sutures gently to avoid damaging the material, especially monofilaments.
- Verify sterility of the package before use.
Patient Guidelines
- Follow post-operative wound care instructions meticulously.
- Monitor the surgical site for signs of infection (redness, swelling, warmth, pus).
- Report any unusual pain, discharge, or fever to the surgeon immediately.
- Avoid strenuous activities as advised by the surgeon to allow proper healing.
- Keep the surgical area clean and dry.
Missed Dose Advice
N/A (not a medication with scheduled doses).
Driving Precautions
N/A (driving precautions are related to the surgical procedure and post-operative recovery, not the suture material itself).
Lifestyle Advice
- Maintain good general hygiene.
- Follow dietary recommendations, if any, for optimal healing.
- Avoid smoking, as it can impair wound healing.
