Polyglactin 910 Suture

Polyglactin suture is a braided and coated synthetic absorbable suture and is a co-polymer of 90% glycolide and 10% l-lactide. Polyglactin 910 sutures retain tensile strength of about 70% of initial strength at 14 days of implantation. Polyglactin 910 sutures are indicated for soft tissue approximation and ligation. Polyglactin sutures have mild tissue reaction during the absorption process. Polyglactin 910 sutures manufactured by dolphin sutures is similar in composition to vicryl sutures and has a similar absorption profile.
