Sutures by DemeTech - Polyglycolic Acid suture is a synthetic, absorbable, sterile, surgical suture
composed of 100% glycolide. The chemical formula of DemeTech's PGA is (C2H2O2)n. Clinical
trials have shown that after two weeks, approximately 84% of DemeTech's PGA initial strength
remained. At four weeks, approximately 23% of DemeTech's PGA linear tensile strength remained.
Sutures by DemeTech - Polyglycolic Acid Suture has been found to be nonantigenic and elicit only
mild tissue reactivity during the absorption process.

Polyglycolic Acid, better known as PGA, is composed of polymers of glycolide acids.
DemeTech's PGA is coated to allow for easier passage through tissues with only minimal drag.

Coated PGA sutures facilitate:

Easy tissue passage
Precise knot placement
Smooth tie down
A decreased tendency to irritate tissue
Greater tensile strength
