Why Choose Vitality™ 5-0 PGA Suture？
Vitality™ 5-0 PGA Violet Sutures are high-performance, braided absorbable sutures designed for reliable wound closure in oral surgery, periodontal treatment, and guided bone regeneration (GBR). Made from polyglycolic acid (PGA) and coated with polycaprolactone and calcium stearate, they deliver excellent tensile strength, smooth tissue passage, and outstanding knot security.
These sutures retain strength for 14–21 days, providing consistent support throughout the critical early healing phase, and fully absorb within approximately 50–90 days. Equipped with a 16mm, 3/8 reverse-cutting needle comparable to PS-3, P-11, and PC-34, Vitality™ 5-0 PGA Sutures ensure predictable handling, reliable knotting, and reduced tissue trauma, making them an ideal choice for soft tissue closures, implant surgeries, and bone grafting procedures.
