PRIMA Polyglycolic Acid Surgical Suture 75cm round needle 1/2 30mm USP 2/0, veterinary use, 12 pieces

The absorbable polyglycolic acid (PGA) suture USP 2/0 is a medical device intended for veterinary use, designed for the closure and ligation of soft tissues during surgical procedures. The filament is a synthetic braided multifilament, violet-colored to enhance intraoperative visibility. Its braided structure is uniformly coated with polycaprolactone and calcium stearate, improving smooth passage through tissue and reducing friction during handling. Technical specifications: • Suture length: 75 cm. • Material: polyglycolic acid, synthetic braided multifilament, violet, coated. • Needle type: round bodied, half-circle (1/2 circle), 30 mm, permanently attached. • Size: USP 2/0, manufactured according to United States and European Pharmacopoeia standards. • Tensile strength: retains approximately 50% of initial strength up to 15-18 days after implantation. • Absorption profile: hydrolytic degradation, fully absorbed within 50-90 days, with minimal tissue reaction. • Sterility: each unit is individually sterile-packed, single-use only. Properties: • Smooth handling and predictable knot security due to coated braided structure. • High initial tensile strength with gradual, predictable strength loss. • Complete absorption through natural hydrolytic processes without residual material after degradation. Application: designed for veterinary surgical procedures involving soft tissue suturing, to be used according to the surgical protocol determined by the veterinarian. Packaging and contents: supplied in a box of 12 sutures, each individually sterile packed with attached needle, ensuring sterility and maintaining product performance until use. Storage conditions: recommended to store in a dry environment, protected from direct light and extreme temperature variations, inside the original sealed packaging. This product complies with USP compendial requirements and is supplied sterile, ready for use in veterinary surgical applications.
