Polyglactin 910 Suture

ORYL910 (Polyglactin 910) suture is most widely used braided and coated synthetic absorbable suture in the world. On account of its superior properties, this suture has replaced catgut sutures in most applications. Polyglactin 910 suture is a synthetic absorbable sterile surgical suture composed of a copolymer made from 90% Glycolide and 10% L-lactide.

Type :                        Braided and coated multifilament

Material :                  Polyglycolide (90%) - co-lactide (10%) synthetic absorbable braided surgical suture

Color :                       Violet

Tissue reaction :       Minimal

Absorption :             The hydrolytic action by which the material is broken down results in total absorption in approximately 42 days.

                                 Approximately 50% of tensile strength remains after 7 days.

Tensile Strength :     75% tensile strength is retained for 14 days and 50% till 21 days.

USP Range :             6/0 - 2

Sterilization :            EO (Ethylene Oxide)

Needle Type :           Round bodied, cutting edge, taper point, straight, blunt point

Packing :                  In aluminium foil packages with or without needle
