Exp: 06/2027, 12 pcs/box, sutures for veterinary use ** Material: USP 3-0 Polyglactin 910, 35" (90cm) in length, comparable to Vicryl ** Needle Type: Reverse Cutting ** Needle Size: 19mm, 3/8 of a circle ** Polyglactin Veterinary Suture Absorption: 60-90 days
PGLA or Polyglactin 910, a synthetic, coated, and absorbable multifilament (braided) suture material, offers medical professionals a versatile tool in various sizes. It strikes a balance between knot security and minimal tissue reaction, making it a valuable choice for surgical applications.
While it loses strength faster than materials like polydioxanone and polyglyconate, it maintains a steadier pace compared to polyglecaprone 25 and aligns closely with the degradation rate of polyglycolic acid.
For enhanced performance, PGLA or Polyglactin 910 suture is available in a coated format, featuring a layer of calcium stearate and a glycolide and lactide copolymer. This coating serves to reduce tissue drag during suturing, ensuring smoother and more efficient procedures.
PGLA or Polyglactin 910 suture undergoes degradation through the hydrolysis of its polymer's chemical bonds, culminating in complete absorption approximately 60-90 days post-implantation.
