The Polyglycolic Acid (PGA) Suture is a synthetic, absorbable surgical suture designed to provide high initial tensile strength and predictable absorption. It ensures secure wound closure with minimal tissue reaction, making it ideal for a wide range of surgical procedures.
The Polyglycolic Acid Suture is a braided, coated, synthetic absorbable suture commonly used in general soft tissue approximation and ligation. Manufactured from high-purity glycolide, it offers excellent handling characteristics, minimal memory, and superior knot security. Its unique coating reduces tissue drag, promoting smoother passage through tissue and less trauma at the surgical site.
With high initial tensile strength, PGA sutures retain approximately 65% of their strength at two weeks and are completely absorbed via hydrolysis within 90–120 days. This predictable absorption profile makes them suitable for internal tissues where long-term support is not required.
The suture is available in a variety of USP sizes and lengths, both with and without needles, to suit different surgical needs. It complies with all international standards and is widely used in gynecology, general surgery, urology, and veterinary applications.
