PGA SSA-90 resorbable suture, designed for optimal healing. Its composition of polyglycolic acid with caprolactone and calcium stearate ensures minimal tissue reaction and complete resorption in 60-90 days, while maintaining superior tensile strength. Ideal for general procedures, except cardiovascular and neurological.
The SSA-90 suture is a sterile, synthetic absorbable option, perfect for soft tissue approximation and/or ligatures in general procedures.
Composition
Composed of polyglycolic acid coated with caprolactone and calcium stearate, it offers minimal tissue reaction and is apyrogenic.
Reabsorption
It is completely absorbed within 60-90 days, retaining 65% of its initial tensile strength after two weeks.
Manageability
The PGA SSA-90 resorbable suture provides excellent manageability and knottability, ensuring smooth passage through the tissues.
Needle
Includes 300 series medical grade stainless steel needles, siliconized for high surgical performance.
Virtues
It stands out for its high tensile strength, knot security and its ability to promote wound edge rapprochement.
Applications
Indicated for general use in soft tissue approximation and/or ligatures, excluding cardiovascular and neurological procedures.
Sterilization
Sterilized with ethylene oxide, it complies with UNE-EN-ISO 11135 and 11737 standards.
Expiration
The PGA SSA-90 resorbable suture has a shelf life of five years after sterilization by ethylene oxide.
Quality and Safety
It complies with the requirements of the European Pharmacopoeia and has CE full quality assurance and design examination certificates.
