Description

The 3-0 Polyglycolic Suture, Pc31, Undyed, is a synthetic, absorbable suture designed for use in soft tissue approximation and wound closure. Made from polyglycolic acid, this suture is known for its excellent tensile strength and predictable absorption. The reverse cutting needle enhances tissue penetration, ensuring smooth and efficient passage through tissues with minimal resistance.

This suture demonstrates notable strength retention, maintaining 50% of its tensile strength at 2 weeks and 20% at 3 weeks, making it ideal for use in procedures where moderate tissue support is required during the healing process. Its absorption profile is designed for complete mass absorption within 60 to 90 days, ensuring that no foreign material remains after the wound has healed, reducing the risk of long-term complications.

The suture features a proprietary coating that minimizes tissue drag, facilitating a smoother passage through tissue and reducing the risk of additional trauma during suturing. This coating also enhances knot security, ensuring that the suture holds firmly in place throughout the healing process.
