Type Monofilament
Composition Polyglecaprone 25, a copolymer made of 75% glycolide and 25% Є-caprolactone
Coating None
Colour Violet / Beige – undyed
Tissue reaction Minimal
Absorption The hydrolytic action by which the material is broken down results in total absorption in approximately 90 to 120 days. Approximately 60% of tensile strength remain after 7 days.
Presentation Box with 12 sutures
