PGA

Polyglycolic Acid (PGA) sutures are absorbed by the body through a straightforward hydrolytic process, providing a consistent and predictable degradation timeline. These sutures maintain around 75% of their original tensile strength at two weeks post-implantation, about 50% at three weeks, and approximately 25% at four weeks. Full absorption typically occurs within 60 to 90 days. Due to their inert nature, PGA sutures cause minimal tissue reaction.
