PGA Sutures

Petcryl AB represents a cutting-edge advancement in surgical sutures, engineered from high-quality polyglycolic acid. This suture combines exceptional tensile strength and flexibility, making it an ideal choice for secure wound closure. Enhanced with a Triclosan coating, Petcryl AB provides powerful antibacterial protection, significantly reducing the risk of Surgical Site Infections (SSIs). As the suture gradually absorbs into the body, it minimizes the need for suture removal, contributing to a smoother, more efficient postoperative recovery.

Features
- Antibacterial Coating: Coated with Triclosan to prevent infections.
- Biodegradable Material: Made from polyglycolic acid, dissolves over time.
- Strength and Flexibility: Reliable closure for optimal healing.
- Versatile Usage: Suitable for various surgical procedures.
- Predictable Absorption: Ensures proper healing without complications.
Advantages
- Infection Prevention: Coated with antibacterial material Triclosan, they significantly decrease the likelihood of Surgical Site Infections (SSIs), promoting safer postoperative recuperation.
- Biodegradability: Derived from polyglycolic acid, these sutures gradually dissolve over time, eliminating the need for suture removal and reducing patient discomfort.
- Polyglycolic acid sutures exhibit the highest tensile strength, ensuring secure wound closure and optimal tissue support.
- Predictable Absorption: With predictable absorption kinetics, they undergo gradual breakdown, allowing for controlled wound healing without complications.
- Enhanced Cosmetic Outcomes: These sutures minimize scarring due to their gentle tissue reaction, resulting in improved cosmetic appearance post-surgery.
