TECHNICAL DATA
PGA is a synthetic absorbable, braided, coated suturecomposed of aPolyglycolic acid (PGA) and is availableboth dyed and un-dyed.When dyed, onlyFDA-approvedcolor additives such as D&CViolet No. 2 areused.The un-dyed suture ismilkwhite (beige) in color.PGA is characterised by very high initial strength anda reabsorption, adequated tothe healing processes, thusproviding the maximum safety expected from syntheticabsorbable braids.
ABSORPTION
Its mechanism ofAbsorption takes place by hydrolysisand guarantees a very high rate of tensile strength anda minimum degree of absorption in the initial critical phaseof healing. In vitroLinear tensile strength retention after2 weeks inPBS (PH=7.4) at37℃≥65%BSRThe total absorptionduration is between 50-80 daysafter the implantation, avoiding adverses reactionsand tisular inflammation.
TENSILE STRENGTH
The residual tensile strengthis the tensile strength thatthe suture supports during the healing period.Afterimplantation, the strength ofan absorbable suturedecreases over time. The retention time represents thetime during which the suture retains a certain degree of
