- Synthetic, absorbable sutures made from a copolymer of glycolide and caprolactone
- Specifically a combination of glycolide (75%) and ε-caprolactone (25%)
- Monofilament structure allows for easy and atraumatic passage through tissues
- High initial tensile strength
- Good in vivo strength retention
- Extended absorption time, typically 90-120 days
- Suitable for tissues needing prolonged approximation under tension
- Designed to cause minimal tissue reaction, which promotes healing
- Non-Wicking which helps prevent the migration of bacteria along the suture line
Needle Specifications:
- 3/8 Circle
- 19mm Length
- Reverse Cutting
