Frequently Asked Questions

What is PGA suture material and how does it absorb?

Polyglycolic acid (PGA) is a synthetic absorbable polymer that is broken down by hydrolysis in the body. PGA sutures provide reliable tensile strength during the early healing phase and are gradually absorbed over time, eliminating the need for suture removal.

What is the difference between braided and monofilament absorbable sutures?

Braided sutures offer superior knot security and easier handling, making them preferred for many soft tissue and general surgical applications. Monofilament sutures have a smoother surface that reduces tissue drag and bacterial adherence, often preferred for skin closure and contaminated wounds.

What does the C3 needle designation mean?

The C3 needle code designates a specific needle geometry — a 13mm curved cutting needle suitable for delicate tissue approximation in procedures requiring precision and minimal tissue trauma.
