Polyglactin 910 Suture (PGLA)
Product Categories:Absorbable Sutures
Polyglactin 910 Suture
Polyglactin 910 Suture is synthetic absorbable sterile surgical suture composed of a copolymer made from 90% glycolide and 10% L-lactide. Polyglactin 910 suture is dyed with FDA approved dye D & C violet, it is also available in Undyed.
In house needle manufacturing provides you the better needles with optimum sharpness which finally delivers smooth riding on tissues during suturing. Polyglactin 910 meets all the requirements as per the United States Pharmacopeia for Synthetic Absorbable Suture.
Indications of Polyglactin Suture
Polyglactin 910 Suture retains tensile strength of about 75% till 14days after implantation, it completely absorbs within 56-70days by simple hydrolytic mechanism and absorption is predictable. Polyglactin 910 Suture is used in general surgery, gynecological, Gastro-intestinal tract surgery, ophthalmic procedures. It is not used for cardiovascular and neurological procedures. Polyglactin 910 is a much more superior alternative to catgut sutures since its absorption is more predictable, tensile strength is better and it exhibits no tissue reaction.
✔ Properties: Good flexibility, Reliable knot security, Smooth passage through tissue provides no trauma, High tensile strength.
✔ Polyglactin Suture is used in general surgery, gynecological, Gastro-intestinal tract surgery, ophthalmic procedures. It is not used for cardiovascular and neurological procedures.
