On account of its superior properties, this suture has replaced catgut sutures in most applications. Virtues : Coated for smoother passage through tissues. Secured knot placement. Superb handling property. Higher tensile strength during initial implantation period. Retention of 50% of tensile strength at 21 days of implantation. Reliable absorption in tissues by simple hydrolysis. Material Braided and coated synthetic absorbable surgical suture made from copolymer of 90% Glycolide and 10% L-lactide, available in undyed and violet colour. Tissue Reaction :Minimal Tissue Reaction Applications :General closure, Opthalmic, Cardiovascular, Orthopaedics, obstetrics/gynecology and Gastrointestinal Tract Surgery Choice Needled and pre-cut sterile sutures conforming to USP standards. Also Rapid absorption sutures are available. Polyglactin 910 sutureis specially coated with Poly (glycolide-Co-L-lactide) in order to create a smoother suture that will pass through tissue easily Polyglactin 910 sutures have good knot security and it has easy knot placement Polyglactin 910 sutures are available with needles made from 300 series alloy steel for superior strength, sharpness and performance
