JOST PGCL is synthetic, multifilament, mid-term absorbable sterile surgical suture, which is widely applicable in surgery.
- Material: Poly (glycolide-co-ε-caprolactone)
- Color: violet, undyed
- Available in diameters 6/0-2, cut in different lengths
- Sterilized: ethylene oxide
- Depending on the diameter of the suture and surgical branch, sutures are combined with standard or special needles of different types and sizes.
Advantages:
It has high stretch-resistance during the critical wound healing period.
Performance:
- Smooth surface provides easy passage through tissues
- Two tensile strength profiles marked as S3 and S5
- Absorption is complete after ≈90 to 120 days, through hydrolysis of the suture to carbon dioxide and water which are metabolized.
