Braided & Coated Polyglycolic Acid (PGA) Surgical Suture – Absorbable

Braided & Coated Polyglycolic Acid (PGA) is a synthetic, fast-absorbing surgical suture designed for short-term wound support and predictable healing. Made from 100% Polyglycolic Acid (Undyed), the braided structure ensures excellent handling and secure knot tying, while the special coating allows smooth tissue passage with minimal tissue drag.

This absorbable suture provides reliable tensile strength during the critical healing phase and is ideal for procedures requiring rapid absorption.
