|
Type
|
Braided and coated multifilament
|
|
Composition
|
polyglycolic acid
|
|
Coating
|
polycaprolactone and calcium stearate (1%)
|
|
Colour
|
Violet

|
Tissue reaction
|
Minimal
|
|
Absorption
|
The hydrolytic action, by which the material is broken down, results in a total absorption in approximately 60 to 90 days. Approximately 50% of tensile strength remains after 7 days.

Description
Teb keyhan P.G.A is a synthetic absorbable suture, with a high level performance It is multifilament and made up of a polymer of Glycolic Acid. P.G.A is a coated with polycaprolactone and calcium stearate for smooth passage through tissue and easy knot tie down. P.G.A is degraded by hydrolysis and the absorption time is 60 to 90 days. This suture is sterilized by Ethylene Oxide and is available in violet color. Available sizes are presented in the attached table.
Indication
-General soft tissue approximation and/or ligation
