Absorbable suture thread Yarn

Fast Absorbing. 20+ Year History of Clinical Application. Material: Polyglycolic acid (PGA), 100% PGA, tenacity > 5.5 g/den Characteristics: Short-term, bioabsorbable yarn retains 50% of tensile strength at less than 14 days. The actual time depends on processes and geometric formation of final device. Linear density/titer: 15–144 denier (per 804-80-018) Tensile strength: ≥ 77 g (15 denier), 231 g (45 denier), 462 g (90 denier), and 657 g (128 denier) Elongation at break: 15-30% Inherent viscosity: ≥ 0.80 dL/g Spin lubricant type: Water washable spin lube – the formulation is available to customers on request Spin lubricant weight: 0.5-4% Configurations: The PGA yarn is wound on tubes. The standard quantity is 100 grams per tube. Custom tube sizes are available upon request. Each wound tube is wrapped in plastic foil and packaged with a desiccant pouch inside a sealed, moisture barrier foil pouch. Colors: Beige (undyed) Violet Light Violet
