01

Material & structure

Polyglycolic acid (PGA), braided and coated multifilament. Violet USP 8/0–5 (EP 0.4–7), undyed USP 6/0–2 (EP 0.7–5).

02

Properties

Good knot stability, outstanding pliability and minimal "sawing effect" in the tissue.

03

Use & resorption

50% of tensile strength remaining after 15–20 days, full resorption after 60–90 days. Used for ligatures, dermatology, gastroenterology, gynecology, MIS, oral and maxillofacial surgery, ophthalmology and urology.

Resorbable sutures?

A suture's degradation rate is measured as strength versus half-life, so a figure of 5 days means at least 50% of the tensile strength remains after 5 days. The time until the suture has fully dissolved is usually much longer.

The times below are therefore half-lives.
