Absorbable Surgical Suture, Polyglycolic Acid, USP 2/0, 1/2-Circle Round-Bodied Needle, 30 mm, 75 cm, 12 Pieces

The absorbable surgical suture made of polyglycolic acid (PGA), USP 2/0, is a synthetic violet suture thread supplied with a 1/2-circle round-bodied surgical needle measuring 30 mm. The thread has a length of 75 cm and is intended for soft tissue approximation and ligation in various surgical procedures. The material undergoes absorption through hydrolysis and features high tensile strength, good knot security, and smooth passage through tissue.

The suture has a gradual absorption profile, retaining approximately 70-80% of its initial tensile strength during the first 14 days and around 50% after 21 days. Further tensile strength loss occurs between four and five weeks after implantation, while complete absorption generally takes place within 60-90 days.

Instructions for use:
• The selection of the suture and needle combination depends on the type and size of the wound, surgical procedure, technique, and the patient's clinical condition.
• PGA sutures are generally intended for use in soft tissues and mucous membranes, including intestinal tissue approximation.
• They can also be used for ligation of various tissues, including blood vessels.
• Applications include general, plastic, urological, gynecological, orthopedic, and obstetric surgery.
• Use may be unsuitable for elderly, malnourished, or debilitated patients, as well as those with conditions that may delay wound healing.
