Polyglycolic Acid Suture Manufacturer

Synthetic Absorbable Suture U.S.P (Sterilized Surgical Needled Suture)

Polyglycolic Acid Fast (Uniglyde Fast) is an absorbable, sterile, synthetic surgical suture composed of polymers made from 100% homopolymer of glycolide, are coated with the equal parts of Polycaprolactone and calcium stearate. It is available in Undyed. Uniglyde Fast meets all the requirements as per the United States Pharmacopeia for Synthetic Absorbable Suture.

In-house needle manufacturing provides the better needles with optimum sharpness which is finally delivers smooth riding on tissue during suturing.

PPOLYGLYCOLIC ACID SUTURE INDICATIONS

Uniglyde Fast absorbs by simple hydrolytic mechanism and absorption is predictable. It retains approximately 75% of the initial tensile strength after 3 days, 50% after 5 days, absorption is Faster and absorbs within 40-42days.

Properties: Smooth passage through tissue provides no trauma, High tensile strength, good knot security, easy knot replacement, reduces pain and discomfort, minimal tissue reaction and are used in short term wound support, soft tissue approximation, including use in ophthalmic procedures. It is not used for cardiovascular and neurological procedures.

FAQs

Question 1: What is Polyglycolic Acid Fast Suture?

Answer: Polyglycolic Acid Fast is a rapidly absorbing synthetic braided suture. It is designed for wounds that need only short-term support and where prolonged presence of the suture material is not required.

Question 2: How quickly does PGA Fast lose strength and absorb?

Answer: PGA Fast provides short-term wound support for roughly 7 to 10 days. The material is generally absorbed through hydrolysis in approximately 40 to 42 days.

Question 3: Where may PGA Fast Suture be used?

Answer: It may be used for rapidly healing soft tissues in general surgery, gynaecology and selected ophthalmic procedures. The surgeon should confirm that the wound does not require extended tensile support.

Question 4: What are the handling characteristics of PGA Fast?

Answer: The suture has a braided and coated construction that supports flexibility, smooth tissue passage and reliable knot placement. Its fast absorption profile helps reduce the duration for which foreign material remains in the wound.

Question 5: What sizes and needle options are available?

Answer: PGA Fast is supplied in multiple USP sizes and can be paired with round-bodied, cutting, reverse-cutting, taper-point and straight needles. It is also available without a needle for specific institutional or distribution needs.
