Feature of Polyglactin 910 Suture
|
- A longer absorption period
- Graeter Tensile Strength
- Predictable absorption by simple hydroplytic mechanism
- Precise knot placement as compared with PGA suture
|
| |
| Virtues
|
: |
The suture’s tensile strength remains
for approximately three to four weeks in tissue. It has a unique
molecular structure which cause the suture to retain its strength
over the critical wound healing period and then allows rapid
absorption after the suture has served its purpose |
| |
| Material
|
:
|
Polyglactin 910 Suture is
composed of copolymers made of 90 % Glycolide and 10 % L-lactide.
Polyglactin 910 suture is an absorbable braided synthetic fibre. It
is available as plain (uncoated) and coated suture, available in
violet colour or colourless. |

|
Tissue Reaction |
: |
Minimal Tissue reaction. Polyglactin 910
sutures are found to be non-antigenic and non-pyrogenic, eliciting
only mild tissue reactivity during the absorption process |
| |
|
Applications
|
: |
PLA Sutures are indicated for soft
tissue approximation and ligation, excellent choice for cataract and
strabismus surgery |
| |
| Choice |
: |
Needled and Pre-cut sterile sutures conforming to USP Standards |
