PGAR Single Use Sterile Sutures Polyglycolic Acid Rapid sutures are composed of the same source polymer as that of a Coated Polyglactin suture. It goes through a unique irradiation process, which gives it its reduced molecular weight hence the rapid absorption characteristics. Used in general soft tissue approximation including ophthalmic surgery. Not indicated for cardiovascular and neurological tissue approximation. Features Composition: Polyglycolic Acid Coating: Coated with magnesium stearate Type of absorption: Absorption by hydrolysis completed in between 35-42 days Always predictable and reliable Tensile strength: High initial strength and strength retention for up to 12-14 days Thread Color: Violet Structure: Braided Origin: Synthetic Sterilization: Ethylene Oxide Available Sizes of Polyglycolic Acid Rapid, 75cm with Needle Size 2/0: Reverse cutting 3/8, 30mm Size 3/0: Reverse cutting 3/8, 25mm
