Polyglactin Sutures 1RB/1JC/2RB/2RC

Polyglactin Sutures are absorbable, synthetic surgical sutures made from polyglactin 910, a copolymer of lactic acid and glycolic acid. These sutures are designed for general soft tissue approximation and wound closure, offering reliable strength during the healing process. Available in a range of needle types including 1RB (Round Body), 1JC (Conventional Cutting), 2RB (Round Body), and 2RC (Conventional Cutting), these sutures are suitable for both superficial and deeper tissue repairs.
