Polyglycolic Acid Surgical Suture 75cm round needle 1/2 30mm USP 1

Explore the surgical suture made of absorbable polyglycolic acid, with a violet thread, boasting a length of 75cm and equipped with a round atraumatic needle of 1/2 circle with a length of 30mm and a diameter of USP 1, available in packages of 12 pieces. Manufactured from polyglycolic acid (PGA), this suture thread stands out for its hydrolysis absorption capacity and sterilization method with ethylene oxide (EO). Characterized by high tensile strength and excellent knotting ability, this suture provides smooth tissue passage, facilitating surgical manipulation. Implantation studies in rats have shown that between 70% and 80% of the thread is retained initially up to 14 days, with approximately 50% retained at 21 days, and complete absorption usually occurs between 60 and 90 days after implantation. Versatile in applications, this suture is suitable for a wide range of surgical procedures, including gastrointestinal, gynecological, ophthalmic, orthopedic, urological, and skin closure procedures. Usage instructions recommend combining PGA threads and needles based on wound type and size, surgical procedures, and patient clinical status, making it ideal for use in soft tissues, mucosa, and ligatures. Discover the advantages of this surgical suture, but remember to consult the instructions for use and apply appropriate surgical practices to achieve the best outcomes in your medical interventions.
