Techsuture PGA is a synthetic absorbable braided polyglycolic acid suture designed for general soft-tissue approximation where absorbable sutures are indicated. The violet color supports visibility during placement, while the multifilament braided structure provides smooth handling, secure knot placement, and controlled passage through tissue.

This configuration includes a USP 4-0, 27 in (70 cm) strand with a 17 mm 3/8 circle Black Regular reverse-cutting needle. The 4-0 size offers dependable support for closures that require slightly broader tissue engagement than finer 5-0 options, while the 17 mm needle provides a balanced working size for controlled placement in accessible surgical areas.

USP 4-0 vs USP 5-0 – Choosing the Right PGA Suture Size

Choose the suture size based on the level of tissue support, handling preference, and closure delicacy required during the procedure.

4-0 – offers more support and slightly broader tissue engagement, making it a practical choice when stronger temporary approximation is preferred.

5-0 – provides finer closure and more delicate tissue approximation, especially useful when a smaller needle-and-thread profile is preferred.
