Polyglactin 910 (PGLA) braided

Polyglactin 910 is a synthetic sterile absorbable suture material that resorbs, with an average resorption time, composed of 90% glycolic acid and 10% L-lactic acid. The coating consists of a copolymer of glycolide and L-lactide with calcium stearate. Polyglactin 910 is non-pyrogenic and induces minimal tissue reaction. Thanks to its special coating, it easily passes through the tissue. Surgical sutures Polyglactin 910 are supplied with atraumatic needles and also as separate threads of various lengths without needles.

Characteristics:

• Sizes: USP 5/0 – USP 1;
• Shelf life: 5 years;
• Color: violet;
• Composition: Consists of 90% polyglycolic acid and 10% L-lactide;
• Tissue reaction: minimal;
• Resorption rate and tensile strength retention in vivo: After 14 days, Polyglactin 910 suture material retains over 60% of its initial tensile strength. Resorption through hydrolysis is completed within a period exceeding 90 days;

 

Packaging: Polyglactin 910 suture material is supplied in a sterile, hermetically sealed package with or without a needle;

Sterilization method: Polyglactin 910 suture material is sterilized with ethylene oxide;

Applications: Polyglactin 910 suture material is used for suturing and/or ligating tissues in all surgical fields, including use in ophthalmology, gynecology, and gastroenterology. Not to be used for suturing blood vessels or the heart.
