polyglactin 910 suture
Polyglactin suture is a much superior alternative to catgut sutures since its absorption is more predictable, tensile strength is better and it exhibits little or no tissue reaction.
- Polyglactin suture is a synthetic, braided and coated absorbable suture
- Polyglactin sutures are available from U.S.P. size 2 to size 6-0 with needle and without needle as well
- Polyglactin sutures are composed of copolymers made from 90% glycolide and 10% L-lactide
- Polyglactin sutures are coated with equal parts of a copolymer of lactide and glactide with calcium stearate
- Polyglactin sutures absorb by a simple hydrolytic mechanism and absorption is predictable
