- Absorbable, monofilament suture is made from purified collagen paired with a high-performance needle for precision soft tissue closure
Uses
- Rapidly Healing Tissue:
- Ideal for internal surgical procedures where tissues heal quickly and require minimal long-term support
- General Soft Tissue Approximation:
- Used for general closure, ligation, and soft tissue repair across various surgical fields
- Ophthalmic Surgery:
- Specifically indicated for use in delicate eye procedures
- Veterinary Applications:
- Frequently used in demanding veterinary surgical procedures
- Prohibited Uses:
- It is not intended for use in cardiovascular or neurological tissues

- A 19mm, 3/8 circle reverse cutting needle crafted from UNIALLOY™ reinforced stainless steel, which maintains its sharpness up to 3X longer than standard needles
- Monofilament Thread:
- An 18-inch (45cm) beige thread that provides a smooth surface to minimize tissue trauma during passage
- Predictable Absorption:
- Tensile strength is maintained for up to 10 days, with complete absorption typically occurring within 70 days via proteolytic digestion
