Polyglactin 910 3-0, 30" (75 cm)

Polyglactin 910 Absorbable Braided Sutures

Excellent Handling. Secure Knotting. Predictable Absorption.

Vero Animal Health Polyglactin 910 Sutures are synthetic, absorbable braided surgical sutures composed of a copolymer of glycolide and lactide. Designed specifically for veterinary surgical applications, they provide dependable wound support with excellent handling characteristics, reliable knot security, and predictable absorption.

The braided construction provides flexibility and excellent handling while allowing precise knot placement and secure tissue approximation. Polyglactin 910 maintains dependable tensile strength during the critical stages of wound healing and is gradually absorbed through hydrolysis as tissue strength returns.

Its combination of handling, knot security, and predictable absorption makes Vero Animal Health Polyglactin 910 an excellent choice for a broad range of veterinary soft-tissue procedures requiring temporary wound support.

Veterinary Applications

Vero Animal Health Polyglactin 910 Sutures may be used for soft-tissue approximation and ligation in veterinary procedures where an absorbable braided suture providing intermediate-term wound support is appropriate.

Typical applications may include:

• Subcutaneous tissue closure
• General soft-tissue approximation
• Ligation
• Gastrointestinal procedures
• Urogenital procedures
• Oral procedures
• Reproductive procedures
• Selected muscle and fascial closure
• Other veterinary soft-tissue procedures requiring absorbable wound support

Selection of the appropriate suture size, needle configuration, and surgical technique should be based on the species, tissue type, wound characteristics, anticipated healing rate, and professional judgment of the veterinary practitioner.

Contraindications

Because Polyglactin 910 is an absorbable suture, it should not be used where prolonged or permanent tissue support is required.

Use may be inappropriate in:

• Tissues requiring long-term or permanent mechanical support
• Procedures where a non-absorbable suture is indicated
• Applications where wound support is required beyond the expected tensile-strength retention period
• Animals with known hypersensitivity to the suture material or its components
• Procedures outside the indications specified in the approved product labeling or Instructions for Use

The veterinary professional should consider tissue healing time, wound tension, surgical-site condition, and the required duration of mechanical support before selecting Polyglactin 910.
