SUTURE I KRUUSE PGA KRUUSE PGA Multifilament, braided: For secure knot tying and easy handling Synthetic: Minimal tissue reaction Coated: For easy knot tying and smooth passage through tissue Absorbable: By hydrolysis KRUUSE PGA is an absorbable, synthetic, braided and coated suture. PGA is a synthetic absorbable suture based on Polyglycolic acid. PGA sutures, coated with polycaprolactone and calcium stearate, are inert, non-antigenic and non-pyrogenic. PGA complies with the requirements of USP and EP, is extremely soft and smooth and has a high knot security. Absorption: Absorbable: n Complete mass absorption in approximately 60-90 days n Absorption by hydrolysis Chemical composition: n KRUUSE PGA is composed of Polyglycolic acid coated with polycaprolactone and calcium stearate Tensile Strength: n 65 % remains after 14 days n 35 % remains after 21 days n Complete mass absorption in approximately 60-90 days Colour: n Violet Indications: KRUUSE PGA sutures are indicated for soft tissue approximation and ligation, where absorbable sutures are indicated, including: n Suturing of subcutaneous tissue n Fascia/abdominal wall closure n Muscles n Gynaecology n GI-surgery n Ophthalmic surgery Range: n USP 4-0 to 6 n EP 1.5 to 8 Features and benefits n n n n n Multifilament suture, good knot stability Medium absorption time - tensile strength 50% after 2 week Suitable to use in many tissues including abdominal wall, muscles and uterus Quite similar to Sacryl in appearance and performance, but different chemical composition The range includes a popular equine suture (used for colic surgery), with a heavy needle on 48 mm and suture size of USP 6 www.kruuse.com KRUUSE© 06/2016 · 19451
