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.
