The GILZA (Polydioxanone-PDO) is a synthetic absorbable monofilament surgical suture material prepared from polyester poly (dioxanone).
Certificate
Made in USA
"FDA", "ISO" & "CE" Certified
Type of thread
Monofilament
Reabsorption time
- Reliable absorbability by hydrolysis.
- Predictable absorption (loss of mass) and high in vivo strength retention.
- Average 75% of the original tensile strength at 2 weeks.
- Average 70% of the original tensile strength at 4 weeks.
- Average 50% of the original tensile strength at 6 weeks.
- Predictable absorption (loss of mass) in 180 to 220 days.

Applications | General soft tissue approximation including use in paediatric cardiovascular tissue where growth is expected to occur and in ophthalmic surgery. These sutures are particularly useful where the combination of an absorbable suture and extended wound support (up to six weeks) is desirable Contraindications Approximation of tissue under tension an suturing of synthetic implant like vascular grafts or cardiac valves |
