Type: Braided and coated multifilament
Composition: Polyglycolic acid
Coating: Polycaprolactone and calcium stearate (1%)
Colour: Beige - undyed / Violet
Tissue reaction: Minimal
Absorption: The hydrolytic action by which the
material is broken down results in total absorption in
approximately
42 days. Approximately 50% of tensile strength remain
after 7 days.
Presentation: Box with 12 sutures
