• PGA or Polyglycolic acid, a synthetic and absorbable multifilament (braided) suture material, offers a diverse range of sizes. It strikes a balance between knot security and minimal tissue reactivity, ensuring a favorable surgical experience.
• When it comes to tensile strength, PGA suture exhibits a moderate to rapid loss compared to other absorbable synthetic materials. Its tensile strength decline is quicker than that of polydioxanone and polyglyconate, yet more gradual than polyglecaprone 25. It closely mirrors the tensile strength decline rate of polyglactin 910, providing a reliable and consistent performance.
• The degradation of PGA suture occurs through the hydrolysis of its polymer's chemical bonds. It achieves complete absorption approximately 60-90 days after implantation. Its versatility, biocompatibility, and absorption characteristics make it a trusted choice for medical suturing applications.
