Description
Monofilament Composition: Polygluco-caprolactone 25, a copolymer made of 75% glycolide and 25% – caprolactone. Coating: None. Colour: Violet / Beige – undyed. Tissue reaction: Minimal. Absorption: The hydrolytic action by which the material is broken down results in total absorption in approximately 90 to 120 days. Approximately 60% of tensile strength remains after 7 days. Presentation Box with 12 sutures
