P.G.A suture 1 48mm 1/2 75cm
Absorbable P.G.A sutures with violet color, synthetic fiber, braided and coated with polyglycolic acid and 48mm needle 1 -1/2 of the cycle.
Absorbable P.G.A (polyglycolic acid) sutures with 60mm 1 - 3/8 cycle reverse cutting needle and synthetic, braided and copolymer coated fiber of violet color and length of 75cm, by Medipac.
Polyglycolic acid synthetic absorbable surgical suture elicits a minimal acute inflammatory reaction in tissues, which is followed by gradual encapsulation of the suture by fibrous connective tissue.
Progressive loss of tensile strength and eventual absorption of polyglycolic acid synthetic absorbable sutures occurs in hydrolysis, where the polymer degrades to glycolic acid which is subsequently absorbed and metabolized by the body.
Absorption begins as a loss of tensile strength without appreciable loss of mass. polyglycolic acid synthetic absorbable suture PGA retains approximately 75% of the average E.P. tensile strength requirement at the end of the 2nd post - implantation week and more than 35% at the end of the 3rd week. The absorption of the suture is essentially complete between 50 and 90 days.
