Description
PGA Perma Sharp™ sutures are a synthetic braided absorbable option that degrades predictably via hydrolysis, providing reliable mid-term support for dental closures without the need for removal. Integrated with Hu-Friedy's Perma Sharp needles, they offer smooth handling and precision for efficient wound management.
Why Clinicians Choose It
Predictable hydrolytic absorption — typically complete in 60–90 days, more reliable than enzymatic processes in variable oral environments.
Braided construction enhances knot security and tactile control during placement.
Perma Sharp needle transition minimizes drag and supports atraumatic suturing.
Material Profile
Synthetic polyglycolic acid (PGA); loses approximately 50% tensile strength in 2–3 weeks, with full absorption via hydrolysis in approximately 60–90 days depending on site and patient factors.
Common Dental Use Cases
Oral surgery flap closures
Extraction site closure
Periodontal procedures requiring predictable mid-term absorbable support
Implant-related soft tissue management
Always exercise clinical judgment based on wound type and individual healing expectations.
