Polyglycolic acid suture is a synthetic, absorbable thread used to stitch or ligate soft tissues during surgery. It temporarily holds wound edges together until healing occurs, then dissolves naturally over time without needing removal.
These sutures are single-use, sterile devices typically supplied in sterile packaging for surgical use. They may be coated or uncoated, but all follow bioabsorbable standards to ensure safe tissue integration and gradual breakdown.
