Polyglycolic Acid Suture (PGA)

PGA absorbable sutures are braided surgical sutures made from polyglycolic acid fibers, offering minimal tissue reaction and eliminating the need for removal, as they fully absorb within approximately 90 days. Our sutures are coated with polycaprolactone and calcium stearate, ensuring smooth passage through tissue and meeting USP and European Pharmacopoeia standards. The needles are made from high-quality stainless steel with laser-drilled holes and offer excellent sharpness, elasticity, and toughness, providing reliable performance in surgical procedures.

Advantages

Its high initial tensile strength ensures reliable support during the early healing stages.

Provides secure and stable wound closure with the excellent knotting ability

The suture naturally absorbs within 90 days, eliminating the need for removal.

Designed for smooth manipulation and easy handling during procedures

Maintains strength and outstanding holding power throughout the critical wound healing period.

Its smooth surface is coated for easy tissue penetration, minimizing trauma during surgery.

Applications

PGA absorbable sutures are ideal for general surgical procedures and ligatures, particularly in areas such as general surgery, skin closure, gastrointestinal surgery, gynecology, obstetrics, Plastic Surgery, urology, and ophthalmology. However, they are not recommended for use in cardiovascular tissue and neural tissue.
