Polyglycolic Acid Suture

 Polyglycolic Acid Suture - ORYL / ORICRYL Suture is an ideal and time tested synthetic absorbable suture, widely used by surgeons. All over the world. PGA's superior features over catgut are predictable absorption, outstanding tensile strength, invivo inertness and excellent handling properties.

• Type :  Braided and coated multifilament
• Material : 100% Polyglycolic acid
• Color :  Violet
• Tissue reaction :  Minimal
• Absorption :  The hydrolytic action by which the material is broken down results in total absorption in approximately 60 to 90 days. Approximately 50% of tensile   strength  remains after 21 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

Characteristics Of Polyglycolic Acid Suture:
