DemeTECH DemeCRYL, Polyglactin 910 Suture, Synthetic Absorbable, DP-3, 13mm, 3/8 Circle, Precision Point Reverse Cutting Needle, Colorless, USP Size 4-0, 18 inches (45cm) | G174013F13M Comparable to: Ethicon J494G CP Medical 494A (PGA alternative with comparable size, length, and needle configuration) About DemeCRYL Sutures DemeTECH's Polyglactin 910 (G) suture is a sterile, synthetic, braided, coated and absorbable surgical suture consisting of copolymers made from 90% glycolide and 10% L-lactide. Its chemical formula is (C2H2O2)m(C3H4O2)n. The suture is coated with a mixture of Poly(glycolide-co-lactide) and calcium stearate. Studies indicate that, after two weeks, about 75% of its initial strength is retained, while at four weeks, approximately 25% of its linear tensile strength remains. Furthermore, DemeTECH's Polyglactin 910 has been found to be non-antigenic, causing only mild tissue reactivity during the absorption process. Characteristics of DemeTECH’s Polyglactin 910 Sutures Polyglactin 910 is composed of copolymers made from glycolide and L-lactide. DemeTECH’s Polyglactin 910 suture is coated to allow for easier passage through tissues with minimal drag.
