Polyglycolic Acid Sutures

PGA sutures exhibit superior tensile strength as compared to polyglactin sutures and are recommended to be used in orthopedic and hysterectomy surgeries instead of polyglactin.

Advanced Features:

• Polyglycolic acid suture is a synthetic, braided and coated absorbable suture.
• Polyglycolic acid sutures are available from U.S.P. size 2 to size 6-0.
• Polyglycolic acid sutures are composed of polymers made from 100% homopolymer of glycolide.
• Polyglycolic acid sutures are coated with equal parts of Polycaprolactone and Calcium stearate less than 5% w/w.
• Polyglycolic acid sutures absorb by simple hydrolytic mechanism and absorption is predictable.
