Braided, violet and absorbable PGA (polyglycolic) suture.
The needle is 3/8 reverse cut. The suture retains approximately 65% of its initial strength after 14 days and approximately 35% after three weeks. Fully resorbed after 60-90 days.
Suitable for situations where it is not necessary or possible to remove the threads in delicate tissue, in combination with absorbable membranes, periodontal surgery, bone grafts, microsurgery and maxillofacial surgery.
"PGA" stands for polyglycolic acid, which is the material used to manufacture the suture thread.
The PGA suture thread is made of biocompatible and absorbable material, which means that it gradually breaks down and dissolves in the body over time. This eliminates the need for manual removal of the sutures after the healing process.
Advantages of PGA sutures include:
1. Strength and durability: PGA sutures are known for their high tensile strength and durability, making them well-suited for suturing wounds and incisions with high tension. They maintain strength for an appropriate period of time until the wound is healed.
2. Minimized irritation: PGA material is smooth and less likely to cause tissue irritation compared to other suture materials. This contributes to a more comfortable healing process for the patient.
3. Rapid degradation: PGA sutures dissolve relatively quickly in the body due to their resorbable nature. This property may be advantageous in cases where sutures are not intended to remain in the body for a long time.
However, it is important to note that PGA sutures may not be suitable for all types of surgery or wounds.
