Ask a question

What is the use of polyglycolic acid?

Polyglycolic acid (PGA) is a synthetic, absorbable polymer used in surgical sutures due to its biodegradable nature. PGA sutures, like the 3-0 30" Coated, Braided, with 19mm C-6 Reverse-Cutting Needle (3/8 Circle), provide strong, temporary wound closure during the initial stages of healing. As the body heals, the PGA suture slowly degrades, eliminating the need for removal. These sutures are commonly used in soft tissue approximation, particularly in procedures like general surgery, orthopedics, and gynecology, where secure and reliable wound closure is critical.

What is a polyglycolic acid suture?

A polyglycolic acid (PGA) suture is an absorbable, synthetic suture designed to provide temporary support to healing tissues. These sutures are known for their high tensile strength and ability to degrade naturally through hydrolysis within the body. The 3-0 30" Coated, Braided, with 19mm C-6 Reverse-Cutting Needle (3/8 Circle) offers excellent knot security, smooth passage through tissues, and predictable absorption rates, making it ideal for surgeries requiring secure yet temporary tissue approximation. It is especially useful in procedures where suture removal is undesirable or challenging.

What is another name for polyglycolic acid suture?

Polyglycolic acid sutures are commonly referred to as PGA sutures. PGA sutures are widely recognized in the medical field for their absorbable nature and predictable degradation process. The 3-0 30" Coated, Braided, with 19mm C-6 Reverse-Cutting Needle (3/8 Circle) exemplifies the high-quality construction of PGA sutures, ensuring that wound closure remains secure during healing before being absorbed by the body. These sutures are ideal for a variety of surgical applications where temporary wound support is required without the need for suture removal.

What material is polyglycolic acid?

Polyglycolic acid (PGA) is a biodegradable synthetic polymer derived from glycolic acid. It is commonly used in absorbable sutures due to its ability to maintain high tensile strength during the early stages of wound healing. Over time, the suture naturally degrades through hydrolysis, allowing for a seamless healing process without the need for suture removal. The 3-0 30" Coated, Braided, with 19mm C-6 Reverse-Cutting Needle (3/8 Circle) is made from high-quality PGA material, providing surgeons with an effective tool for wound closure that offers strength, flexibility, and predictable absorption.

What is the difference between polyglycolic acid and polyglactin 910?

Polyglycolic acid (PGA) and polyglactin 910 (often referred to as Vicryl) are both absorbable sutures, but they differ in their composition and rate of absorption. PGA is a homopolymer of glycolic acid, while polyglactin 910 is a copolymer made from glycolic and lactic acids. Polyglactin 910 has a slightly slower absorption rate, making it suitable for cases where prolonged tissue support is needed. In contrast, PGA sutures, like the 3-0 30" Coated, Braided, with 19mm C-6 Reverse-Cutting Needle (3/8 Circle), are ideal for surgeries requiring faster absorption, offering superior handling, knot security, and smooth passage through tissues.
