PGA RAPID Sutures
synthetic absorbable multifilament coated surgical sutures
DSI PGA Rapid are synthetic, absorbable, multifilament, coated surgical sutures, that are absorbed completely by hydrolysis in the body. They are uniquely useful for dental implantology procedures due to their predictable absorption timeline and lack of antigenic reaction. The suture composition is 90% glycolic acid and 10% lactic acid copolymerization. The coating is poly (glycolide-co-L lactide) and Calcium stearate with a visible violet color. This coating material provides non-capillarity and enables the suture to easily and reliably glide without damaging itself while tying knots. DSI PGA Rapid sutures are indicated for short-term tissue operations and provide high tensile strength, high knot safety, and lower suture memory.
DSI PGA Rapid sutures support wounds for approximately 10-14 days and are fully absorbed by the body in approximately 40-45 days. The tensile strength is about 50% on the 5th day and completely loosened on the 14th day with 0% wound support. DSI PGA Rapid features excellent tensile strength, knot-tying ability, and minimum tissue reaction. These sutures are equipped with a new improved atraumatic needle for an even less traumatic experience for the patient.
Product Details
DSI PGA Sutures are the gold standard for reliability and predictability. The synthetic nature of this suture material allows for perfect compatibility with all patients, an essential requirement in the healing process. Unlike many other organic substances, PGA is not naturally occurring and therefore results in a minimal immune response when used.
DSI PGA sutures are highly suitable for a variety of uses in multiple fields. These synthetic and absorbable sterile sutures can be utilized for:
Can be used for:
• Dental Implantology
• General Surgery
• Plastic Surgery
• Ophthalmic Surgery
• Gynecology-Obstetrics
• Episiotomy
• Orthopedics
• Gastroenterology
• General Closing Bondage as well as Pediatrics and cuticles
DSI Sutures are of the highest grade in terms of sterility and meet stringent "Grade A" sterilization standards. This process involves radiology techniques, as well as gamma-ray sterilization, which can take up to one month to complete without interruption. All sutures are licensed by CE and ISO and will come packaged with a double layer of sterile protection inside aluminum foil for an added level of security.
Crafted with careful attention to detail, DSI Suture needles are made from a 300-series surgical steel alloy. Meticulously designed to be as slim as possible without comprising strength, their laser-sharpened edges ensure that sutures can be successfully passed through tissue with minimal injury. Crafted with exceptional rigidity to avoid any bending, while ductility minimizes breaking. Incredibly stable in a needle holder and resilient against corrosion.
Each size comes in a box of 12 Individual sterile packs of 75 cm/ 30'' suture with pre-installed 19 mm reverse cut 3/8 circle atraumatic needle
