Polyglycolic Acid Sutures

Surgical Products

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.
