Intended Use

The synthetic absorbable surgical sutures OPTIME® and SINUSORB® PGA are indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, including use in ophthalmic surgery; but not for use in cardiovascular and neurological surgery.

Device Story

OPTIME® and SINUSORB® PGA are synthetic absorbable braided surgical sutures composed of polyglycolic acid homopolymer. Sutures are coated with epsilon-caprolactone and calcium stearate or a mixture of polycaprolactone, calcium stearate, and fatty acid ester. Available undyed or violet dyed (D&C violet nº2, CI 60725), with or without attached needles. Used by surgeons in clinical settings for soft tissue approximation and ligation. Device provides temporary wound support during healing before being absorbed by the body. Substantial equivalence established to Coated VICRYL™ (Polyglactin 910) Suture.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Device performance demonstrated through compliance with USP and EP monographs for absorbable surgical sutures. No clinical data provided.

Technological Characteristics

Braided synthetic absorbable suture; material: polyglycolic acid homopolymer; coating: epsilon-caprolactone/calcium stearate or polycaprolactone/calcium stearate/fatty acid ester; sterile; conforms to USP and EP standards for absorbable surgical sutures.

Indications for Use

Indicated for general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, including ophthalmic surgery. Contraindicated for cardiovascular and neurological surgery.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

An absorbable poly(glycolide/l-lactide) surgical suture (PGL suture) is an absorbable sterile, flexible strand as prepared and synthesized from homopolymers of glycolide and copolymers made from 90 percent glycolide and 10 percent l-lactide, and is indicated for use in soft tissue approximation. A PGL suture meets United States Pharmacopeia (U.S.P.) requirements as described in the U.S.P. “Monograph for Absorbable Surgical Sutures;” it may be monofilament or multifilament (braided) in form; it may be uncoated or coated; and it may be undyed or dyed with an FDA-approved color additive. Also, the suture may be provided with or without a standard needle attached.

Special Controls

*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The special control for this device is FDA's “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Surgical Sutures; Guidance for Industry and FDA.” See § 878.1(e) for the availability of this guidance document.

#### Statement of intended use

The synthetic absorbable surgical sutures OPTIME® and SINUSORB® PGA are indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, including use in ophthalmic surgery; but not for use in cardiovascular and neurological surgery.

OPTIME® and SINUSORB® PGA have the same intended use as the predicate device Coated VICRYL 100 (Polyglactin 910) Suture.

#### New Device Description

OPTIME® and SINUSORB® PGA are synthetic absorbable braids composed of homopolymer of glycolic acid and coated with epsilon-caprolactone and calcium stearate or a mixture composed of polycaprolacton, calcium stearate and fatty acid ester. These surgical sutures are available undyed or violet dyed with an FDA approved color additive: D&C violet nº2, CI 60725. The suture may be provided with or without a standard needle attached.

## Summary of Technological Characteristics of New Device compared to Predicate Device

OPTIME® and SINUSORB® PGA sutures have similar technological characteristics as the predicate device Coated VICRYL™ (Polyglactin 910) Suture. Like the predicate device, OPTIME® and SINUSORB® PGA are sterile, braided synthetic absorbable surgical sutures that conform to the requirements of the United States Pharmacopoeia (USP) and the European Pharmacopoeia (EP) for Absorbable surgical sutures. The polyglycolic acid material used for both "new" and "predicate" medical devices is commonly used in surgical applications and has been proven to be biocompatible.

#### Performance data

Non-clinical laboratory testing was performed demonstrating that the device complied with the USP Monographs and with the EP Monographs for Absorbable surgical sutures.

#### Conclusions

Based on the 510(k) summary (21 CFR 807) and the information provided herein, we conclude that our New Medical Devices OPTIME® and SINUSORB® PGA are substantially equivalent to the Predicate device Coated VICRYL™ Suture under the Federal Food, Druing, and Cosmetic Act.
