Description
Absorbable suture is widely used in surgery, because it can be absorbed, so there is no need to remove the suture and avoid secondary pain. PGCL absorbable suture has the following obvious characteristics:
1. High initial tensile strength
2. Excellent knotting ability
3. Outstanding holding power through the critical would periode
4. Reliable absorbability
5. Easy to handle
6. Holds knot securely
7. Smooth surface, slides smoothly through the tissue
Indications
PGCL Sutures are indicated for use in general surgery. It is suitable for the coating of soft tissue and for ligation, including use in plastic surgery, gynecological surgery, gastrointestinal surgery as well as in Urology. The PGCL Sutures are absorbable and should be used where midterm wound support is required. Not for the use in cardiovascular and neurological tissues.
Properties
PGCL Sutures retain 60% of their tensile strength by the first week and 30% by the second week. After which absorption by hydrolysis begins, where the copolymer degrades to glycolic acid, which is absorbed by the body between 90-110 days.
Sterilization
