Gilza™ Plus (PDO)

The Gilza Plus(Polydioxanone-PDO) is a synthetic absorbable monofilament surgical suture material prepared from polyester poly (dioxanone). 

The Gilza Plus suture is covered with Chlorhexidine diacetate (CHA), it provides both significant antimicrobial activity and low toxicity and sticks well to the skin or mucous membrane.

Chlorhexidine diacetate shows high antibacterial activity against various fungi, virus and bacteria, especially gram-positive bacteria, gram-negative bacteria, yeast fungi, skin parasites, lipophilic virus.

Chlorhexidine diacetate has a well-established safety profile, it’s quite commonly used for oral rinses and skin cleaners for human. Exposure to Chlorhexidine diacetate from our sutures is minimal, the Chlorhexidine diacetate of our anti-bacterial sutures is 20 ~ 75 ppm (0.0020% ~ 0.0075%) 

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.
