LuxSutures LUXCRYL PGA Polyglycolic Acid (PGA) Absorbable Braided Surgical Suture PGR01HR48-1
LUXCRYL PGA Rapid Absorbable Braided Surgical Sutures are intended for superficial soft tissue and mucosal closure where rapid absorption and short-term wound support are required. Manufactured from polyglycolic acid (PGA), these sutures provide reliable early tensile strength followed by fast, predictable absorption.
The braided construction is coated to reduce tissue drag and improve handling, allowing smooth passage through tissue and secure knot performance. The undyed formulation is particularly suitable for cosmetic or mucosal applications where colourless sutures are preferred.
This variant is supplied in USP 1, 75 cm length, and fitted with an HR 48 (48 mm) reverse cutting needle. Reverse cutting needles position the cutting edge on the outer curvature, reducing tissue cut-out risk while providing controlled penetration for superficial skin and tougher tissues.
LUXCRYL PGA Rapid sutures are widely used in plastic surgery, obstetrics and gynaecology (including episiotomy repair), urology, ophthalmic procedures, and paediatric surgery where fast absorption with minimal tissue reaction is required. Each box contains 12 sterile sutures, individually packaged for professional clinical use.
