This suture has a special lining to reduce friction, the smooth transition to the skin tissue as well as its easy tying. Its properties make it ideal for many applications where an absorbable suture is required. It is synthetic for minimal tissue reaction. 

Thread strength after application of :

• 5 days: about 75%
• 21 days: 50% (6-0 and above), 40% (7-0 and below)
• 28 days: 25%

 

 Absorption:

• By Hydrolysis. Full absorption in 5 days 50% and 10-14 days 100%.
