THEMATERIALS ABSORBABLE PGA (DYED AND UNDYED) This braided homopolymer of glycolic acid has good tensile strength and handling properties. Strength retention 17-21 days. PGA loses strength in 14-17 days and is absorbed in 90-120 days. PGA FA (FAST ABSORPTION) Developed for short-term closures, PGA FA is ideal for skin and mucosa closing that may benefit from fast suture absorption. PGA FA retains approximately 48% of its original tensile strength one-week post implantation and 0% by approximately 14-17 days. Absorption of PGA FA is essentially complete between 49-63 days. It is processed to absorb quickly with little tissue reaction.
NON-ABSORBABLE SILK Being the ”classic” non-absorbable suture, braided silk has superior handlingproperties and visibility. POLYESTER Polyester sutures are made from polyethylene trephthalate polymers. Excellent tensile strength and less tissue reaction than braided silk. POLYPROPYLENE Monofilament material made from polypropylene polymers has excellent tissue compatibility. A good alternative to silk. PTFE PTFE Sutures are non-absorbable, synthetic and monofilament sutures which handle smoothly like a multifilament. They are white in color, so nice if used in aesthetic zones. Comfortable for the patient, they promote wound healing because unlike multifilament sutures, they do not absorb blood, saliva, bacteria or food residues.
