vetsuture® PGC (Poliglecaprone 25), is a monofilament synthetic absorbable suture, composed of a Polymer (Glycolide co-caprolactone). vetsuture® PGC sutures are available dyed in violet. Poliglecaprone 25 copolymer has been found to be nonantigenic, nonpyrogenic and elicits only a slight tissue reaction during absorption. vetsuture® PGC sutures comply with USP requirements, except for diameter. vetsuture® PGC suture is a monofilament which elicits a minimal acute inflammatory reaction in tissues and ingrowth of fibrous connective tissue. Progressive loss of tensile strength and eventual absorption of vetsuture® PGC sutures occurs by means of hydrolysis. Absorption begins as loss of tensile strength followed by loss of mass. Implantation studies in rats indicate that vetsuture® PGC suture retains approximately 50-60% of its original tensile strength 7 days post implantation and approximately 20-30% of its original tensile strength at 14 days post implantation. All of the original tensile strength is lost by 21 days post implantation. The absolute strength remaining 14 days post implantation meets or exceeds that historically observed with plain and chromic gut sutures. Absorption of vetsuture® PGC absorbable synthetic suture is essentially complete between 90 and 120 days.

All the suture materials are set with a high-quality vetfire needle , designed for the veterinarian art. Needles are siliconized for a better penetration.
