Polyglycolic Acid Suture Thread - 12 threads without needle, 150cm, USP 2/0, wholesale, DTEK

Polyglycolic Acid Suture is a synthetic, multifilament, sterile absorbable suture made from a polymer of glycolic acid. The threads are twisted and coated with a layer of polycaprolate which is a copolymer of caprolactone with glycolides. D-tek PGA meets all the requirements imposed by the United States Pharmacopeia (U.S.P.) and the European Pharmacopoeia for sterility and absorbable suture materials. •Suture color: purple •Absorption mode: hydrolysis •Knot retention time: up to 28 days •Absorption time: 60 -90 days •Coated with calcium stearate to be extremely soft and produce knots that do not unravel, available with or without a needle •The needle is made of high quality medical grade stainless steel, sharp enough to penetrate tissue with minimal resistance and offering optimal elasticity without the risk of breakage or plastic deformation. •The product complies with the requirements of European Directive 93/42/EEC. •Sterilization method: ETO (Ethylene Oxide) •The threads are packed in individual sterile packaging. The packaging is individually marked with the batch number and expiration date. CE marking •Packaging method: 12 threads/box, 50 boxes/box Indications: PGA is used in general surgery. It is indicated for soft tissue suturing and for ligature, including ophthalmological surgery, but not in cardiovascular surgery and neurosurgery. Action: Surgical procedures in which PGA is used may be followed by minimal inflammatory reactions, this being a normal reaction of the body to a foreign body; this is followed by a gradual encapsulation of the thread by a fibrous test. PGA suture material has a high tensile strength, with a resorption period of over 28 days. After that, PGA is enzymatically hydrolyzed, the polymer degrading to glycolic acid which is then absorbed. PGA being an absorbable suture material, cannot be used when a longer time is required for wound healing.
