Details
- TypeBraided and coated multifilament
- CompsositionPolyglactine 910, a copolymer made of 90%
glycolide and 10%L-lactide - CoatingPoly-glycolide-co-L-lactide and calcium
stearate (<1%) - ColourViolet
- Tissue reactionMinimal
- AbsorptionThe hydrolytic action by which the material is
broken down results in total absorption
between 56 and 70 days. Between 40% and
50% of tensile strength remain after 21 days. - PresentationBox with 12 sutures
