Vet-Suture PGA suture is an absorbable, sterile, surgical suture composed of homopolymers of glycolide (100%). The empirical formula of Vet-Suture's PGA is (C2H2O2)n. Vet-Suture's PGA is coated with unique combinaison of Polycaprolactone and Calcium Sterate for added lubrication and smoothness. Absorbtion begins with loss of tensile strength followed by loss of mass. 80% of the original tensile strengh is retained upto 14 days after surgery. 90% of the original tensile strength is lost at the end of the fourth week post implantation. Absorption of Vet-Suture's PGA is minimal upto 10% in two weeks, 25% of the mass gets absorbed in four weeks, upto 75% in two months and absorption is essentially complete between 75 and 90 days. Vet-Suture's PGA sutures are available dyed with D&C Violet n°2.

fastPGA is an absorbable, sterile, surgical suture, composed of homopolymers of Glycolide (100%). For added lubrication and smoothness, vetsuture©
fastPGA is coated with unique combination of Polycaprolactone and Calcium Stearate. vetsuture©
fastPGA meets all the requirements, established by the United States Pharmacopeia for Absorbable Surgical suture. vetsuture©
fastPGA is available as undyed. vetsuture©
fastPGA sutures elicit a minimal to moderate initial inflammatory tissue reaction. Progressive loss of tensile strength and eventual absorption of vetsuture©
fastPGA sutures occur by means of hydrolysis, where the polymer degrades to Glycolic acid. It gets absorbed quickly and metabolized in the site of implantation. Absorption begins with loss of tensile strength followed by loss of mass. vetsuture©
fastPGA shows that 5 days post implantation approximately 50% of the original tensile strength remains. All of the original tensile strength is lost by approximately 10-14 days post implantation. The absorption of vetsuture©
fastPGA occurs thereafter and is essentially complete by 42 days.
vetsuture's PDX is dyed (D&C Violet No. 2) synthetic absorbable monofilament suture material bulk composed of Polydioxanone(PDO). This Material is intended for assembly of sterile surgical sutures with and without needles for human and veterinary use. PDX meets all the requirements established by the European Pharmacopoeia (EP) for Synthetic Absorbable Monofilament Surgical Sutures.

PGC (Poliglecaprone 25), is a monofilament synthetic absorbable suture, composed of a Polymer (Glycolide co-caprolactone). vetsuture©
PGC sutures are available undyed. Poliglecaprone 25 copolymer has been found to be nonantigenic, nonpyrogenic and elicits only a slight tissue reaction during absorption. vetsuture©
PGC sutures comply with USP requirements, except for diameter. vetsuture©
PGC suture is a monofilament which elicits a minimal acute inflammatory reaction in tissues and ingrowth of fibrous connective tissue. Progressive loss of tensile strength and eventual absorption of vetsuture©
PGC sutures occurs by means of hydrolysis. Absorption begins as loss of tensile strength followed by loss of mass. Implantation studies in rats indicate that vetsuture©
PGC suture retains approximately 50-60% of its original tensile strength 7 days post implantation and approximately 20-30% of its original tensile strength at 14 days post implantation. All of the original tensile strength is lost by 21 days post implantation. The absolute strength remaining 14 days post implantation meets or exceeds that historically observed with plain and chromic gut sutures. Absorption of vetsuture©
PGC absorbable synthetic suture is essentially complete between 90 and 120 days.
