Polyglycolic Acid Suture

ORYL (Polyglycolic Acid) is an ideal and time tested synthetic absorbable suture, widely used by surgeons. All over the world. PGA's superior features over catgut are predictable absorption, outstanding tensile strength, invivo inertness and excellent handling properties.

Type :                        Braided and coated multifilament

Material :                 100% Polyglycolic acid

Color :                      Violet

Tissue reaction :      Minimal

Absorption :            The hydrolytic action by which the material is broken down results in total

                                 absorption in approximately 60 to 90 days. Approximately 50% of tensile 

                                 strength  remains after 21 days.

Tensile Strength :     75% tensile strength is retained for 14 days and 50% till 21 days.

USP Range :              6/0 - 2

Sterilization :            EO (Ethylene Oxide)

Needle Type :            Round bodied, cutting edge, taper point, straight, blunt point

Packing :                   In aluminium foil packages with or without needle
