* Synthetic,absorbable,multifilament braided suture,in a violet color or undyed.* Made of a copolymer of glycolide and L-lactide[poly(glycolide-co-L-lactide)].
* The tissue reactivity in microscopic form is minimal.
* Absorption occurs through progressive hydrolytic action; completed between 56 - 70 days.
* The material retains approximately 75% if its tensile strength by the end of two weeks, and 40% to 50% by the third week.
* Color code: Violet label.
* Frequently used in tissue coaptation and Ophthalmic procedures.
* The PGLA90 has the following approximate percentages: 
   Polyglicolic Acid……………………………………..90%
   L-lactide………………………………………………10%
   Coating………………………………………………. less 1%
* Characteristics:
   1)- High tensile strength.
   2)- Braided structure.
   3)- Absorption through hydrolysis.
   4)- Cylindrical coated multifilament.
   5)- Excellent creep.
   6)- Gage within U.S.P./E.P guidelines.
   7)- Hermetically sealed packing.
* Indications:
   It is indicated in all surgical procedures,soft tissues and/or ligatures. These include: General surgery, Gastroenterology, Gynaecology, Obstetrics,Urology, Plastic surgery, Orthopedics and Ophtalmic.
* Caution must be taken when used in eldery, malnourished or immunologically deficient patients,in which the critical healing period of the wound may be delayed.
* Sterilization: By E.O. Gas;
* HS code: 9018322000 or 9018909999.
