POLYGLACTINE (PGLA)

POLYGLACTINE (PGLA)

Polyglactine (PGLA) is a biodegradable and bioabsorbable synthetic suture material commonly used in medical and surgical applications. It is composed of a copolymer of two main components: glycolide and lactide, both of which are derived from lactic acid. PGLA sutures are renowned for their exceptional properties that make them ideal for various medical procedures.

Biodegradability: One of the primary advantages of PGLA sutures is their biodegradability. Over time, the sutures break down into simpler molecules and are eventually absorbed by the body’s natural metabolic processes.
