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
