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.
