Intended Use
COROLENE® sutures are intended for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, including use in cardiovascular and vascular surgery, in ophthalmic surgery, in plastic surgery and in neurological surgery.
Device Story
COROLENE® is a sterile, monofilament, non-absorbable surgical suture made of polypropylene. It is available in undyed or blue-dyed (Phtalocyanine-copper) forms to improve visibility and may be supplied with or without an attached needle. The device is used by surgeons in clinical settings for soft tissue approximation and ligation across various specialties, including cardiovascular, vascular, ophthalmic, plastic, and neurological procedures. By providing a secure, biocompatible means of tissue closure, the suture facilitates healing and structural integrity in surgical sites. It functions as a standard surgical tool, requiring no complex processing or electronic interface.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. The device demonstrated compliance with United States Pharmacopoeia (USP) and European Pharmacopoeia (EP) monographs for non-absorbable surgical sutures.
Technological Characteristics
Monofilament synthetic non-absorbable polypropylene suture. Available undyed or blue-dyed with Phtalocyanine-copper (CI 74160). Conforms to USP and EP standards. Sterile. No electronic components or software.
Indications for Use
Indicated for general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation in patients requiring cardiovascular, vascular, ophthalmic, plastic, or neurological surgery.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
Nonabsorbable polypropylene surgical suture is a monofilament, nonabsorbable, sterile, flexible thread prepared from long-chain polyolefin polymer known as polypropylene and is indicated for use in soft tissue approximation. The polypropylene surgical suture meets United States Pharmacopeia (U.S.P.) requirements as described in the U.S.P. Monograph for Nonabsorbable Surgical Sutures; it may be undyed or dyed with an FDA approved color additive; and the suture may be provided with or without a standard needle attached.

#### New Device Description
COROLENE® is a monofilament synthetic non-absorbable surgical suture composed of polypropylene. The suture is available undyed or blue dyed with an FDA approved color additive: Phtalocyanine-copper (CI 74160), to enhance visibility. The suture may be provided with or without a standard needle attached.
#### Summary of Technological Characteristics of New Device compared to Predicate Device
Our new device COROLENE® has similar technological characteristics as the predicate device PROLENE®. Like currently marketed PROLENF® suture, COROLENE® is a sterile monofilament synthetic non-absorbable surgical suture that conforms to the requirements of the United States Pharmacopoeia (USP) and the European Pharmacopoeia (EP) for non-absorbable surgical sutures. The polypropylenc material used for both medical devices is commonly used in surgical applications and has been proven to be biocompatible.
