Polyglyconate suture

64 devices · GMDN 17246

Polyglyconate sutures are synthetic, bioabsorbable threads used to join the edges of soft-tissue wounds or incisions by stitching, or to ligate soft tissues. They provide temporary wound support until the wound heals and is subsequently absorbed by the body. This type of suture is often used in surgeries, including pediatric cardiovascular procedures.

When browsing polyglyconate sutures, it's essential to note that these devices are typically supplied sterile and for single use, and may include an attached needle. They are regulated as medical devices, and their use is intended for specific clinical applications, including wound closure and tissue ligation.
