- A 5-0 Polyglycolic Acid (PGA) Suture, specifically a fast-absorbing braided material equipped with a C-3 Precision Reverse Cutting Needle, designed for efficient wound closure in procedures where long-term tension is not required, and minimal post-operative care is preferred
Uses
- General Surgery:
- Ideal for various surgical procedures requiring a clean, secure, and efficient closure
- Short-Term Tissue Support:
- Used in procedures where fast absorption is beneficial, such as superficial skin closures or mucosal repairs, reducing the need for a follow-up visit for suture removal
Features
- Material:
- Made of Polyglycolic Acid (PGA) with a fast-absorption profile
- Needle Type:
- Features a C-3 Precision Reverse Cutting Needle (13mm, 3/8 circle) designed for clean penetration and reduced tissue damage
- Braided Construction:
- Enhances tensile strength and provides better knot security to reduce the risk of slippage compared to monofilaments
- Suture Dimensions:
- Each box contains 12 individual 18-inch long sutures in a 5-0 diameter
- Uncoated Finish:
- Ensures minimal tissue reaction during the healing process
Benefits
- Patient Convenience:
- Its fast-absorbing nature eliminates the need for manual removal, improving the patient experience
- Surgical Efficiency:
- The precision needle allows for smooth, accurate passes through tissue, saving time in the operating room
- Infection Control:
- As a sterile, disposable single-use product, it helps maintain a safe surgical environment and reduces the risk of cross-contamination
- High Performance:
- Combines high initial tensile strength with smooth handling characteristics for reliable wound management
