NUVOCRIL is a sterile, synthetic, absorbable surgical suture manufactured by Nuvo Medsurg Private Limited from Polyglactin 910, a copolymer of 90% glycolide and 10% L-lactide. Its braided and coated multifilament construction provides smooth tissue passage, reliable knot security, and consistent handling characteristics during surgical procedures. The suture is coated with poly-glycolide-co-L-lactide and calcium stearate to reduce tissue drag and support precise wound closure.
The suture is absorbed through hydrolysis and is completely absorbed within approximately 60 to 70 days while producing minimal tissue reaction. NUVOCRIL is intended for general soft tissue approximation and ligation, including use in general surgery, gynecology, obstetrics, ophthalmic surgery, and peripheral nerve anastomosis. Sterilized using Ethylene Oxide (EO), it is available in multiple suture sizes, lengths, and needle configurations to meet diverse surgical requirements.
