Types of Suture Material

The suture material produced by our company mainly include the following types:

PGA Absorbable Braid

PGA is commonly used in the biomedical field due to its excellent biocompatibility and degradation properties. The degradation products of PGA are carbon dioxide and water, which are harmless to the human body and can be fully excreted.

PLGA Absorbable Braid

It possesses good flexibility and degradability, with a rapid degradation rate. PLGA absorbable sutures are polymers synthesized through the copolymerization of lactide and glycolide in required proportions. They are manufactured through processes such as spinning, stretching and weaving.

PPDO Absorbable Braid

Polydioxanone (PDO) is a homopolymer of p-dioxanone with many characteristics such as non-toxic, biodegradable, and appropriate mechanical strength. As a suture material, PDO fibers have demonstrated attractive safety and complete biodegradability.

Advantages of Suture Material

PGA Absorbable Braid

PGA absorbable braid have many advantages, including:
Greater tensile strength: The behaviour of PGA sutures in wound closure is superior to that of catgut for, in addition to similar handling properties, it has greater tensile strength and it produces no tissue reaction.
Not affected by a low pH: Because PGA sutures are absorbed by hydrolysis breakdown, they are not affected by a low pH. Because they are manufactured by synthetic polymers, their resorption is slower and they will maintain the incision line with a tensile strength much longer than most suture materials.

PLGA Absorbable Braid

PLGA absorbable braid have many advantages, including: It is easy to use, has a high knot-pull tensile strength, improved tissue penetration, and a better tactile feel. Furthermore, it demonstrates excellent biocompatibility and degradability.

PPDO Absorbable Braid

PPDO absorbable braid have many advantages, including:
Reduced Tissue Reaction: Absorbable PPDO absorbable braid cause minimal tissue reaction, resulting in reduced inflammation and discomfort for patients. This is particularly advantageous in procedures where sutures remain in contact with sensitive tissues for an extended period.
Prolonged Wound Support: PPDO absorbable braid maintain their strength throughout the critical phase of wound healing, providing prolonged support. This is especially valuable in surgeries involving tension on the wound site.
Minimal Scar Formation: Due to their biocompatible nature and gradual absorption, PPDO absorbable braid contribute to minimal scar formation. This is a significant aesthetic benefit for patients.
Enhanced Healing Process: PPDO absorbable braid stimulate collagen synthesis around the wound area, promoting tissue regeneration and a more efficient healing process.

Powerful Solutions For Business Growth

PGA Absorbable Braid
PGA absorbable braid can be used for a variety of purposes, including: PGA Sutures are used in general surgery, gynecological, soft tissue approximation, including use in ophthalmic procedures. It is not used for cardiovascular and neurological procedures.

PLGA Absorbable Braid
PLGA absorbable braid can be used for a variety of purposes, including: PLGA has a widespread application in biomedical fields, such as fracture fixation materials, tissue repair materials, and drug delivery systems.

PPDO Absorbable Braid
PPDO absorbable braid can be used for a variety of purposes, including:
General Surgery: PPDO absorbable braid are widely used in general surgeries for wound closure, offering ease of use and excellent wound support.
Obstetrics and Gynecology: In obstetrics and gynecology, PPDO absorbable braid are employed in procedures like cesarean sections and pelvic floor repairs due to their prolonged support and minimal tissue reaction.
Dermatology: Dermatological procedures benefit from PPDO absorbable braid’ ability to minimize scarring, making them suitable for skin closure in cosmetic and reconstructive surgeries.
Comparison with Non-Absorbable Sutures: While non-absorbable sutures have their own set of advantages, absorbable PPDO absorbable braid eliminate the need for suture removal, reducing patient discomfort and potential complications.

Precautions for Use PGA Absorbable Braid

In surgery of the urinary or biliary tract, care should be taken to avoid prolonged contact of this or any other suture with salt solution, to prevent calculus formation.

This suture many be inappropriate in patients suffering from conditions which may delay wound healing e.g., patient that are elder, malnourished or depilated. As this is an absorbable suture, the use of supplemental non-absorbable suture should be considered by the surgeon in the close of the abdomen, chest, joints or other sites subjects to expansion or requiring additional support.

For single use only. Do not reuse, reprocess or re-sterilize. Reuse, reprocessing or re‐sterilization may compromise the structural integrity of the device and/ or lead to device failure which, in turn, may result in patient injury or illness. Reuse, reprocessing or re‐sterilization may also create a risk of contamination of the device and/or cause patient infection or cross‐infection, including, but not limited to, the transmission of infectious disease(s) from one patient to another.

Acceptable surgical practice should be followed for the management of contaminated or infected wounds. Skin sutures which must remain in place longer than 7 days may cause localized irritation and should be snipped off or removed as indicated. Under some circumstances, notably orthopedic procedures, immobilization of joints by external support may be employed at the discretion of the surgeon.

FAQ

Q: Are braided sutures absorbable?

A: To reduce appointments, absorbable sutures are advocated. Dogma persists that braided absorbable sutures should not be used in trauma cases for fear of increased wound infection and poor scarring. Braided sutures have been suggested to harbour pathogens within their filaments.

Q: How long does a PGA suture last?

A: Polyglycolic Acid suture absorbs by simple hydrolytic mechanism and absorption is predictable. PGA Suture retains approximately 75% of the initial tensile strength after 2 weeks, 50% after 3 weeks and 25% after 4weeks and is absorbed completely in 60 to 90days.

Q: Is PGA water soluble?

A: Polyglycolic Acid (PGA) also exhibits an elevated degree of crystallinity of about 45-55%, thus resulting in insolubility in water. The solubility of this polyester also depends on its molecular weight.

Q: Are braided sutures absorbable?

Q: What is polyglycolic acid braided absorbable suture?

A: PGA Suture is braided and coated composed of polymers made from 100% Homo-Polymer of glycolide.

Q: How long does a PDO suture take to dissolve?

A: The suture retains 74% of its tensile strength after 2 weeks, 50% after 4 weeks, and 25% after 6 weeks. There is minimal absorption by 90 days and absorption is not complete until 6–7 months after implantation.

Q: When to use braided suture?

A: This type of suture is used when high levels of tension are applied to the tissue, or when the tissue is quite fragile. For example, braided multifilament sutures are the standard in cardiac surgery and for the fixation of prosthetic material, due to their high tensile strength.
