GLIKOLAK
Polygylicolic Lactic Acid (PGLA)
Glikolak – Absorbable Brain and Neurosurgery Suture is a sterile, absorbable surgical suture designed in a striped form with a synthetic structure composed of polyglycolide and lactide. Ideal for suturing applications requiring high precision in neurosurgery, Glikolak offers a smooth transition and minimal tissue trauma in the surgical field. The calcium stearate and poly(glycolide/lactide) (30/70) blend in its special coating formula enhances the suture’s lubrication, facilitating surgical procedures and controlling the absorption process. Dyed purple with natural dyes, Glikolak provides superior visibility in the surgical field.
Manufactured in specialized sizes and specifications for neurosurgery, Glikolak sutures are available in 8/0 thickness, in lengths ranging from 30 cm to 150 cm, and with or without a stainless steel needle. With high tissue compatibility, reliable absorption performance, and minimal tissue reaction, Glikolak is a safe, absorbable suture preferred by surgeons in neurosurgery. With a 55–70 day absorption period, Glikolak is an effective and modern solution for professionals seeking successful outcomes in neurosurgery.
