They can be used in gastrointestinal, plastic and reconstructive surgery, urology, gynecology and obstetrics. It is not indicated for use in cardiovascular tissue, central nervous system, microsurgery and ophthalmic surgery. High tensile strength. Extreme handling, flexibility and easy knot execution. Atraumatic passage through the tissue thanks to the smooth surface. Excellent glide through tissue. Low memory effect. Type Monofilament absorbable synthetic suture. Molecule Copolymer composed of 75% Glycolide and 25% ε-caprolactone (PGA-PCL). COLORED tensile strength : 70% after one week; 40% at two weeks; 12% at three weeks; 3% at four weeks. NOT COLORED: 80% after one week; 40% at two weeks; 15% at three weeks; 4% at four weeks. Absorption Occurs via hydrolysis and is complete in approximately 90 to 110 days.
