P.G.A. sutures

P.G.A. sutures are one of the most common types of sutures used in medicine and surgery. Made of polyglycolic acid, P.G.A. sutures are absorbable and biocompatible, which makes them ideal for use in internal and external procedures. They are widely used by surgeons, dentists, and vets for wound closure and tissue repair, offering a reliable and safe solution for healing.

General information about P.G.A. sutures includes their widespread use in various fields of medicine, such as general surgery, orthopedics, gynecology, and dentistry. Their absorbability makes them ideal for procedures where sutures do not require removal of sutures after healing. In addition, their ease of use and adaptability to various surgical techniques make them indispensable tools for health professionals.

The P.G.A. synthetic absorbable surgical suture is selected according to the patient's condition, the size of the wound and tissues, as well as surgical experience and technique.

P.G.A. sutures are violet, and undyed, with cover needle sizes from 10mm to 90mm and USP thread sizes 7/0 to 2 (EP 0.5 to 5.0).

P.G.A. surgical sutures offer smooth passage through the tissue, ensuring high knot-pulling strength and safety. They exhibit minimized tissue reaction and their flexibility facilitates handling. In addition, they have high tensile and failure strength, do not require a removal session, have near-zero material memory, and offer full biocompatibility.
