Description

PGA Resorba™ is an absorbable braided suture made from precision filaments of polyglycolic acid (PGA), coated with a special resolactone layer that minimizes tissue drag and enhances handling. The predictable absorption profile makes it ideal for a wide range of oral and periodontal procedures where controlled strength retention and smooth passage through soft tissue are essential.

Comparable in quality and handling to Vicryl™, PGA Resorba™ offers clinicians a dependable, high-performance synthetic absorbable option.

Key Features

  • Material: Polyglycolic acid (PGA) — precision-braided for consistent strength.
  • Coating: Resolactone coating reduces surface friction and soft tissue drag.
  • Tensile strength: Retains ~50% at 21 days.*
  • Needles: 300 series stainless steel, silver finish.
  • Thread color: Violet.
  • Suture length: 18" / 45 cm.
  • Packaging: 12 sutures per box.

Common Dental Use Cases

  • Mucosal and soft tissue closure
  • Periodontal flap procedures
  • Oral surgery and grafting sites requiring controlled, medium-duration support

Material & Construction

  • Type: Synthetic, absorbable, braided multifilament.
  • Absorption mechanism: Hydrolysis — more predictable than enzymatic degradation.
  • Sizes available: 4-0 to 7-0.

*Absorption times may vary depending on patient condition and site of use. Always exercise clinical judgment based on wound type and individual healing expectations.
