Polyglactin 910 is a synthetic, absorbable suture widely trusted for its superior tensile strength, minimal tissue reaction, and smooth handling. Ideal for soft tissue approximation and ligation, it offers predictable absorption and exceptional knot security across diverse surgical applications.
Polyglactin 910 is a braided, synthetic absorbable suture composed of a copolymer made from 90% glycolide and 10% lactide. It is coated to enhance its handling properties and reduce tissue drag, ensuring smoother passage and less trauma during surgical procedures. This suture is available in both violet and undyed forms, allowing surgeons to choose according to visibility needs in different operative fields.
It maintains approximately 75% of its original tensile strength at 2 weeks, 50% at 3 weeks, and is fully absorbed through hydrolysis in about 56–70 days. This makes it highly suitable for procedures requiring short-to-medium term wound support, such as gynecological, urological, general, and pediatric surgeries.
The suture’s excellent pliability and knot security reduce the risk of slippage, ensuring reliable wound closure and improved healing outcomes. Each suture is terminally sterilized and packaged to maintain the highest standards of surgical safety and efficiency.
