24 Sutures Per Box

Monoglyc PGA-PCL Suture is a highly pliable monofilament suture, that also absorbs predictably. With the smooth monofilament surface structures, it handles and ties easily, and is virtually inert in tissue. Basically, PGA-PCL sutures behave like PTFE sutures, but do not need to be removed!

  • Prevents bacterial wicking
  • Fully Absorbable in approximately 90 Days
  • Compares to Monocryl
  • Sharp & high quality premium needle allow for atraumatic passage through tissue.
  • Ideal suture for Choukroun’s Apical Mattress Suture Technique
  • High tear resistance and reliable knot security
  • Maintain 50% tensile strength for 14-28 days
  • Dyed violet
  • Available in 4-0, 5-0 or 6-0.
  • 45cm or 70cm

IMPORTANT! The suture must be cut long: minimum 8 mm.
Otherwise, the threads are hurtful. The shorter the threads are and the more they stiffen.

Description

Monoglyc PGA-PCL Suture is a is a sterile synthetic absorbable monofilament surgical suture produced from a copolymer of glycolic acid and ε-caprolactone. It is indicated for procedures that require high initial tensile strength diminishing over 2 weeks postoperatively, including subcuticular closure and soft tissue approximations and ligations.

MONOCRYL Suture is a highly pliable monofilament suture that handles and ties easily, is virtually inert in tissue, and absorbs predictably. High initial tensile strength diminishes over 2 weeks postoperatively.

Tensile Strength and Absorption

The gradual loss of tensile strength and absorption of Monoglyc PGA-PCL Suture occurs by the means of hydrolysis. On absorption, there is first a reduction in tensile strength followed by a loss of mass. Implantation studies showed that approximately 70 % of the original tensile strength is available after seven days and approximately 40% after fourteen days. Absorption is fully complete in approximately 90 days.

Why is this Suture Ideal for the Apical Mattress Technique

The Apical Mattress Technique is a new suturing technique that will help you remove tension & mobility of the buccal flap.

Periosteum reattachment requires a lot of time: Solution = Apical Mattress + PGA-PCL Suture

When a flap is raised, it becomes mobile interrupting the blood supply causing bone loss. Mobility also creates tension which will be eliminated when reattachment occurs. Most suture materials are removed after 1 to 2 weeks. This is not enough time for the body to achieve suitable reattachment of the periosteum, which can take 4 to 6 weeks. If the periosteum is not stable, the flap will remain mobile and there will be tissue tension. The the Apical Mattress Technique helps remove tension & mobility of the buccal flap, and thereby: Decreases soft tissue ischemia, Promotes faster healing & increased soft tissue thickness, and Greatly decreases the risk of dehiscence. Since the Monoglyc PGCL suture is a suture that remains strong, stays, plaque free and resorbs in approximately 90 days, it is the ideal suture for the apical mattress technique.
