Suture Ophthalmic, Eickfil PGA, (0.5) 45cm + 3/8 Circle Needle 8mm (12)

PGA

• Type: Braided and coated multifilament
• Coating: Polycaprolactone and calcium stearate (1 %)
• Colour: Violet / Beige - undyed
• Tissue reaction: Minimal
• Absorption: The hydrolytic action by which the material is broken down results in total absorption in approximately 60 to 90 days. Approximately 50% of tensile strength remain after 21 days.
• Presentation: Box with 12 sutures

Characteristics

• High tensile strength
• Synthetic
• Breaks down by hydrolysis
• Braided structure
• Coated multifilament
• Hermetically sealed packing

Nylon

• Type: Monofilament
• Composition: Extrusion of polyamide 6.0 or 6.6
• Coating: None
• Colour: Black
• Tissue reaction: Minimal
• Absorption: Non absorbable, gradually encapsulated by connective tissue. The thread mass diminishes, approximately 10% a year by rupture of chemical links (hydrolytic action).
• Presentation: Box with 12 sutures

Characteristics

• High tensile strength, non absorbable
• Synthetic
• Monofilament with microscopic uniform diameter
• Pliability and softness
• Hermetically sealed packing

Silk

• Type: Braided multifilament
• Composition: Braided fibres from the cocoon of the silkworm
• Coating: Waxes Silicone
• Colour: Black
• Tissue reaction: Moderate
• Absorption: Silk suture elicits an initial inflammatory reaction in tissues, which is followed by gradual encapsulation of the suture by fibrous connective tissues.
• Presentation: Box with 12 sutures

Characteristics

• High tensile strength, non absorbable
• Braided or twisted structure
• Coated multifilament

• Hermetically sealed packing
