Suture Characteristics
Polyglactin 910 is coated in order to create a smoother synthetic absorbable suture that will pass through tissue readily.
Coated Polyglactin 910 sutures facilitate:
- Easy tissue passage
- Precise knot placement
- Smooth tie down
- A decreased tendency to irritate tissue
- Greater tensile strength
- A longer absorption period
- After 3 weeks post operation, in clinical trials, polyglactin 910 sutures still maintain approximately 50% of their tensile strength.
About Polyglactin 910 Suture
Polyglactin 910 suture is a synthetic absorbable, sterile, surgical suture composed of copolymers made from 90% glycolide and 10% L-lactide. A slight tissue inflammation may occur when polyglactin 910 sutures are placed in tissue, which is characteristic of a foreign body response. This response is followed by gradual encapsulation by fibrous connective tissue.
Progressive loss of tensile strength and eventual absorption of polyglactin 910 suture occurs by means of hydrolysis, where the polymer degrades to either glycolic acid or glycolic and lactic acids which are subsequently absorbed and metabolized by the body.
Complete loss of original tensile strength is lost by around 5 weeks post-placement. Absorption of the suture is essentially complete between 56 and 70 days.
