EickFil PGA (USP 10/0, EP 0.2, 3/8 circle, 2 x DSP 6,2 mm 150 µm)

**PGA** * Type: Braided and coated multifilament * Coating: Polycaprolactone and calcium stearate (1 %) * Colour: Violet / Beige - undyed * Tissue reaction: Minimal * Absorption: The hydrolytic action by which the material is broken down results in total absorption in approximately 60 to 90 days. Approximately 50% of tensile strength remain after 21 days. * Presentation: Box with 12 sutures Characteristics * High tensile strength * Synthetic * Breaks down by hydrolysis * Braided structure * Coated multifilament * Hermetically sealed packing **Nylon** * Type: Monofilament * Composition: Extrusion of polyamide 6.0 or 6.6 * Coating: None * Colour: Black * Tissue reaction: Minimal * Absorption: Non absorbable, gradually encapsulated by connective tissue. The thread mass diminishes, approximately 10% a year by rupture of chemical links (hydrolytic action). * Presentation: Box with 12 sutures Characteristics * High tensile strength, non absorbable * Synthetic * Monofilament with microscopic uniform diameter * Pliability and softness * Hermetically sealed packing **Silk** * Type: Braided multifilament * Composition: Braided fibres from the cocoon of the silkworm * Coating: Waxes Silicone * Colour: Black * Tissue reaction: Moderate * Absorption: Silk suture elicits an initial inflammatory reaction in tissues, which is followed by gradual encapsulation of the suture by fibrous connective tissues. * Presentation: Box with 12 sutures Characteristics * High tensile strength, non absorbable * Braided or twisted structure * Coated multifilament * Hermetically sealed packing * USP 10/0, EP 0.2 * 3/8 circle, 2 x DSP 6,2 mm 150 µm * Side cutting spatula double armed * Braided and coated multifilament * Colour: violet * Length: 30 cm * Quantity: 12 sutures
