Surgicryl PGA Foil Pack – Absorbable braided suture with needle

The Surgicryl PGA foil pack offers a sterile, ready-to-use solution for efficient wound closure in general and specialist surgical procedures. Each foil pack contains a pre-attached needle and braided, coated suture, designed for optimal performance and reduced tissue trauma.

Made from polyglycolic acid, the Surgicryl PGA suture is a braided multifilament coated with polycaprolactone and calcium stearate (1%). This coating ensures smooth passage through tissue and secure knot placement, while maintaining flexibility and tensile strength. The suture is coloured violet to improve visibility in the surgical field, particularly in deep or low-light settings.

Key features:

• Product: Surgicryl PGA foil pack
• Type: braided and coated multifilament suture
• Composition: polyglycolic acid
• Coating: polycaprolactone and calcium stearate (1%)
• Colour: violet for visibility
• Pre-attached needle in each pack
• Sterile, single-use foil packaging
• Absorption: complete in 60–90 days
• Tensile strength: ~50% remains at 21 days

Supplied in a sealed sterile foil pack, this format eliminates the need for manual needle threading or pre-use sterilisation. The convenience of a pre-mounted needle allows for quicker preparation and a more streamlined procedure—ideal for theatre use, emergency care, or field environments.

The Surgicryl PGA foil pack is designed to produce minimal tissue reaction, making it suitable for a wide range of clinical applications. The material is gradually absorbed through hydrolytic breakdown, with complete absorption occurring in 60 to 90 days. It retains approximately 50% of its original tensile strength at 21 days, providing strong initial support during the critical healing phase.
