Absorbable Different Types Suturas Nylon Monofilament Polyglactin PGLA Surgical Sutures

Product overview

Core functionalities

Applicable scenarios

Unique advantages

  • Absorbable Wound Closure: Made from polyglactin (PGLA) and nylon monofilament, these sutures dissolve naturally over time, eliminating the need for post-surgical removal. Ideal for closing incisions in general and specialized surgeries.
  • Sterile Packaging Design: Individual sterile packets with a convenient tear strip ensure hygienic access to single-use sutures, reducing cross-contamination risks in clinical environments.

Key features

  • 1. Absorbable Polyglactin Material Technology

  • With absorbable polyglactin (PGLA) material, eliminate the need for post-surgical suture removal, reducing patient discomfort and follow-up procedures. This biocompatible design ensures gradual dissolution, ideal for delicate tissue healing.

  • 2. Convenient Interactive Packaging Design

  • With the easy-tear strip and individual sterile packets, access sutures quickly without compromising sterility—20% faster than traditional bulk packaging*. Ideal for on-demand use in busy clinical settings.

  • 3. Optimized Performance for Delicate Procedures

  • With a 5/0 size and nylon monofilament construction, achieve precise handling and optimal strength-to-flexibility balance, suitable for intricate surgical closures. The 3-year shelf life ensures long-term reliability compared to shorter-lived alternatives*.

  • 4. Versatile Scenario Solutions for Surgical Needs

  • In cosmetic or reconstructive surgery, the absorbable design minimizes scarring and simplifies postoperative care, offering a 50% reduction in patient recovery steps* compared to non-absorbable sutures.

  • 5. Rigorous Certification Standards

  • With FDA registration and EPR Germany certification, ensure compliance with global medical safety and environmental standards, guaranteeing quality and traceability for healthcare providers.

Product details

Absorbable Different Types Suturas Nylon Monofilament Polyglactin PGLA Surgical Sutures

The Absorbable Surgical Sutures package contains 12 sterile, individually wrapped sutures designed for precise surgical applications. Crafted from nylon monofilament and polyglactin (PGLA) materials, these sutures offer balanced strength and controlled absorption, ideal for closing wounds and incisions in procedures like cosmetic surgery. Certified by FDA and EPR Germany, they ensure safety and compliance with global medical standards.

Supplier's note

  1. Technical Breakthroughs:

    • Hybrid Material (Pro Model): Combines nylon’s strength with PGLA’s absorption, offering 20% faster degradation than traditional PGA sutures.
    • UV-Treated Packaging (Advanced Model): Reduces microbial ingress by 30% compared to standard sterile packets.
    • Customizable Absorption (All Models): Enables tailored healing timelines, aligning with tissue regeneration rates.
  2. Version Selection Guidance:

    • Base Model (Nylon): Ideal for high-tension repairs (e.g., orthopedic surgery) where non-absorbable sutures are preferred.
    • Advanced Model (PGLA): Best for superficial closures (e.g., dermatology) requiring gradual absorption without removal.
    • Pro Model (Hybrid): Suits complex procedures (e.g., reconstructive surgery) needing both immediate strength and controlled absorption.

With the Pro Model’s triple-layer seal and hybrid material, you can achieve sterile integrity and optimal tissue integration. Pair its 45-day absorption rate with its 12N tensile strength to ensure secure closures in demanding environments.
