Product Description

Polyglycolic acid suture is braided synthetic absorbable multifilament made of Polyglycolic acid and coated with inert, non-antigenic, non-pyrogenic polymeric imide and stearic calcium, which render the thread extremely smooth, soft and knot safe.

1)Synthetic absorbable multifilament braided suture violet color. 

2)Made of polyglycolic acid with polycaprolactone and calcium stearate coating.

3)The tissue reactivity in microscopic form is minimum.

4)Color Code:Violet Label

5)Frequently used in tissue coaptation ties and ophthalmic procedures.

Absorption begins as a loss of tensile strength  without appreciable loss of mass. Implantation  studies in animals indicate that PGA retains approximately *3% of its original tensile strength at two weeks post implantation, 

with approximately *3% remaining at three weeks. Absorption of PGA synthetic absorbable surgical suture is essentially 

complete between *0 and *0 days.
