SMI Surgicryl® PGA absorbable surgical suture with needle, USP 6/0 (EP 0.7), 75 cm, HR13 needle, violet, 12 pcs/box

Surgicryl® PGA is a synthetic, braided, coated polyglycolic acid suture with high tensile strength and excellent knot security. The coating reduces friction so the suture passes smoothly and gently through tissue. It causes minimal tissue reaction and is absorbed by hydrolysis.

Supplied sterile in airtight packaging as a ready-to-use needle–suture combination.
