A reliable suture comprised of Polyglycolic Acid (PGA) Suture Material packaged in a cost-effective cassette delivery system. The cassette delivery system reduces the cost of suture up to 50% when compared to pre-cut lengths with attached needles. All you do is supply the needle. All available cassettes contain 25 meters.
Features of the suture are as follows: • Coated braided synthetic absorbable suture material of polyglycolic acid • Complies with the requirements of USP and EP • Special coating facilitates smooth tissue passage, easy knot tie down and excellent knot security. • Excellent handling and knotting characteristics • High linear and knot-pull tensile strength • Absorbed by hydrolysis with minimal tissue reaction • Reliable tensile strength retention (in-vitro) • Average 73% at 14 days • Average 45% at 21 days • Predictable absorption (loss of mass) in 60 to 90 days • Violet in color
