QMS Polyglycolic (PGA) Absorbable Sutures

QMS Polyglycolide (PGA) Absorbable Sutures – Reliability and Safety in Soft Tissue (3/0 Gauge)

QMS Polyglycolide 910 Absorbable Sutures are braided and coated synthetic surgical sutures, specifically indicated for soft tissue procedures where suture removal is not required. They provide an excellent balance of tensile strength, knot security and flexibility, ensuring smooth tissue passage and minimal tissue reaction.

They are manufactured from polyglycolide 910, with a coating of less than 1% composed of poly-glycolide-co-L-lactide and calcium stearate. Absorption occurs by hydrolysis in a gradual and predictable manner, providing reliable support during the critical healing phase.

Available with HR22 and DS19 needles, in 3/0 gauge, these sutures adapt to a wide range of surgical techniques, offering high reliability and ease of handling.

Key features:

• Synthetic absorbable suture, braided and coated

• Composition: Polyglycolide 910

• Coating: Poly-glycolide-co-L-lactide and calcium stearate (<1%)

• Complete absorption in approximately 56 to 70 days

• Gradual tensile strength retention during the initial healing phase

• Minimal inflammatory reaction with gradual encapsulation

• Smooth tissue passage, reducing surgical trauma

• High initial tensile strength

• Biocompatible suture with virtually no memory

• No need for removal after healing

Benefits:

• Excellent knot security in demanding procedures

• High flexibility and easy handling for delicate techniques

• Eliminates the need for suture removal appointments

• Effective support during the critical healing period

• Suitable for different tissue types and surgical approaches

Indications for use:

• Soft tissue suturing in general and dental surgery
