Synthetic, absorbable, multifilament braided suture, in an undyed presentation. Made of polyglycolic acid with polycaprolactone and calcium stearate coating. The tissue reactivity in microscopic form is minimal. Absorption occurs through progressive hydrolytic action, completed by 42 days. The material retains approximately 50% of its tensile strength by the end of the first week. Color code: Red. Frequently used in tissue that requires a short healing period.
POLYGLICOLIC ACID

POLYGLICOLIC ACID GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS:
The ATRAMAT® Quick Absorption Polyglycolic Acid is coated with Polycaprolactone and Calcium Stearate in the following approximate percentages: Polyglycolic Acid ......................... 99% Coating ...........................................1% CHARACTERISTICS
BENEFITS
High tensile strength. Braided structure. Absorption through hydrolysis. Cylindrical coated multifilament thread. Excellent knot coupling. Gauge within U.S.P./E.P. guidelines. Hermetically sealed packaging.
Excellent tissue support. Excellent handling. Predictable absorption rate and minimal tissue reaction Smooth passage through the tissue. Providing excellent security. Less suture material implanted in the tissue. Ensure stability and sterility of the product.
When implanted in the tissue, the ATRAMAT® Quick Absorption Polyglycolic Acid has minimal tissue reaction on a microscopic basis. This is comparable to other absorbable synthetic sutures of Polyglycolic Acid. However, ATRAMAT® Quick Absorption Polyglycolic Acid, offers a predictable absorption rate and high tensile strength over and above the USP standard, thus providing vital artificial support to the tissue during the critical healing period. The absorption occurs through progressive hydrolytic action completed in approximately 42 days. The material retains approximately 50% of its initial tensile strength at the end of the first week. RECOMMENDATIONS:
As with most of the braided suture materials, it is recommended to tie a square knot with 2 or 3 additional throws. The ends of the knot should be 2 to 3 mm long depending on the surgical circumstances and the surgeon´s experience. USES:
It is indicated in all surgical procedures, where absorbable sutures are recommended. These include: General, Gastroenterology, Gynecology, Obstetrics, Ophthalmic, Urology, Plastic, and Orthopedic surgery. Caution must be exercised when used in elderly, malnourished or immunologically deficient patients, in which the critical cicatrization period of the wound may be delayed. CONTRAINDICATIONS:
Since it is an absorbable suture, it should not be used where extended tissue support is needed for an indefinite period of time. Note: In light of characteristics, benefits and limitations presented above, the end user is in a position to call on his/her experience and adapt the use of the suture subject to individual surgical circumstances.
