Polyglactin 910
Polyglactin 910 Surgical Sutures are absorbable braided synthetic sutures composed of a copolymer of glycolide and lactide, identified by their characteristic violet color. These sutures provide reliable wound support for approximately two to three weeks before gradual hydrolytic absorption, with complete absorption within 56–70 days. Coated for smooth tissue passage and enhanced knot security, Polyglactin 910 is widely used for subcutaneous closure, gastrointestinal anastomosis support, and general soft tissue approximation. A versatile absorbable suture standard in operating rooms for procedures requiring intermediate-duration tensile strength.
Product Overview
Polyglactin 910 Sutures (Vicryl-type) are synthetic absorbable braided sutures made from a 90:10 copolymer of glycolide and lactide. The violet dye provides clear visual identification during surgery.
