Excellent tensile strength with improved handlingMinimal, less reactive scar with optimal cosmesisMinimal tissue reaction with predictable absorption rateSmooth knot tie-down with excellent knot securityExcellent support during critical wound healing period
Poliglecaprone 25 is the material of choice across specialties for subcuticular closure.PGCL sutures provide wound support upto 14 days and gets absorbed by hydrolysis (within 90 days of implantation).
