Polyglactin 910 (PGLA suture) 12pcs
Polyglactin 910 (PGLA) sutures are synthetic absorbable surgical sutures used for reliable soft tissue approximation and ligation. Made from a copolymer of glycolide and lactide, these braided sutures offer excellent tensile strength, predictable absorption, and minimal tissue reactivity.
The smooth coating enhances handling and knot security, making them ideal for internal procedures including general surgery, OB/GYN, urology, and soft tissue repair. These sutures are absorbable, eliminating the need for removal in most internal applications.
