Braided Coated Polyglactin 910 suture is a synthetic, absorbable surgical thread commonly used for wound closure in various medical procedures. Composed of the copolymer polyglactin 910, this suture combines the benefits of a braided structure for strength and flexibility with a coating that facilitates smooth tissue passage. The braided design enhances knot security, while the absorbable nature ensures the suture is naturally broken down by the body over time. Polyglactin 910 sutures are suitable for a range of surgeries where an absorbable suture with dependable tensile strength and pliability is essential.
