Atromat PGA Absorbable Surgical Sutures – Premium Braided Polyglycolic Acid Mexico

Atromat PGA Sutures are high-quality, synthetic absorbable surgical sutures manufactured from Polyglycolic Acid (PGA). Designed for general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, these violet-colored, braided sutures offer exceptional handling characteristics, secure knotting, and predictable absorption profiles. Ideal for procedures requiring temporary wound support, PGA sutures provide reliable tensile strength during the critical healing phase before gradually resorbing via hydrolysis.

Features & Benefits

• Synthetic Absorbable Material: Composed of braided Polyglycolic Acid (PGA) polymer, ensuring consistent performance and minimal tissue reaction compared to natural absorbable alternatives.
• Predictable Absorption Profile: Maintains approximately 50–60% of original tensile strength at 14 days post-implantation, with complete absorption via hydrolysis typically occurring within 60–90 days depending on tissue environment and suture size.
• Superior Handling: The braided construction provides excellent knot security and smooth tie-down characteristics, while the proprietary coating reduces tissue drag and allows for effortless passage through tissue with minimal trauma.
• High Visibility: Violet coloration enhances suture visibility against tissue, facilitating precise placement and easier removal during follow-up procedures if necessary.
• Atraumatic Needle Attachment: Each suture is precision-swaged to premium-grade surgical needles, ensuring secure attachment and preventing needle detachment during instrumentation.
