Polyglactin 910 suture retains tensile strength of about 70% till 14days after implantation, it completely absorbs within 56-70days by simple hydrolytic mechanism and absorption is predictable.
Properties:
Good flexibility, Reliable knot security, Smooth passage through tissue provides no trauma, High tensile strength.
2. Polyglactin Sutures are used in general surgery, gynecological, Gastro-intestinal tract surgery, ophthalmic procedures. It is not used for cardiovascular and neurological procedures.
Characteristics:
It is a twisted multifilament absorbable suture with synthetic coating, which makes the thread softer when passing through the tissues and tends to decrease the irritation of the same. Has a better tensile strength and a longer absorption period. Polyglactin 910 suture degrades by chemical hydrolysis and then is absorbed and metabolized by the human body. The absorption process is followed by a mass loss and the suture is fully reabsorbed in 90 days.
