vetsuture PGA : Sterile absorbable braided and coated suture - Polyglycolic acid

Vet-Suture PGA suture is an absorbable, sterile, surgical suture composed of homopolymers of glycolide (100%). The empirical formula of Vet-Suture's PGA is (C2H2O2)n. Vet-Suture's PGA is coated with unique combinaison of Polycaprolactone and Calcium Sterate for added lubrication and smoothness. Absorbtion begins with loss of tensile strength followed by loss of mass. 80% of the original tensile strengh is retained upto 14 days after surgery. 90% of the original tensile strength is lost at the end of the fourth week post implantation. Absorption of Vet-Suture's PGA is minimal upto 10% in two weeks, 25% of the mass gets absorbed in four weeks, upto 75% in two months and absorption is essentially complete between 75 and 90 days. Vet-Suture's PGA sutures are available dyed with D&C Violet n°2.
