Description
We supply a full range of absorbable sutures including brailed and monofilament with many different sizes and varied absorption profiles. Suitable for wound support requirements.
| Type | Braided and coated multifilament |
| Composition | Polyglactine 910, a copolymer made of 90% glycolide and 10%L-lactide |
| Coating | Poly-glycolide-co-L-lactide and calcium stearate (<1%) |
| Colour | Violet |
| Tissue reaction | Minimal |
| Absorption | The hydrolytic action by which the material is broken down results in total absorption between 56 and 70 days. Approximately 50% of tensile strength remain after 21 days. |

| Type | Braided and coated multifilament |
|---|---|
| Composition | Polyglycolic acid |
| Coating | Polycaprolactone and calcium stearate (1%) |
| Colour | Violet / Beige – undyed |
| Tissue reaction | Minimal |
| Absorption |
The hydrolytic action by which the material is broken down results in total absorption in approximately 60 to 90 days. Approximately 50% of tensile strength remain after 21 days. |

| Type | Braided and coated multifilament |
|---|---|
| Composition | Polyglycolic acid |
| Coating | Polycaprolactone and calcium stearate (1%) |
| Colour | Beige – undyed |
| Tissue reaction | Minimal |
| Absorption | The hydrolytic action by which the material is broken down results in total absorption in approximately 42 days. Approximately 50% of tensile strength remain after 7 days. |
| Presentation | Box with 12 sutures |
| Type | Monofilament |
|---|---|
| Composition | Polyglecaprone 25, a copolymer made of 75% glycolide and 25% Є-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 110 days. Approximately 75% of tensile strength remain after 7 days. |

| Type | Monofilament |
|---|---|
| Composition | Polydioxanone, a polymer made from polyester poly (p-dioxanone) |
| Coating | None |
| Colour | Violet |
| Tissue reaction | Minimal |
| Absorption | The hydrolytic action by which the material is broken down results in total absorption in approximately 180 to 210 days. Approximately 50% of tensile strength remain after 42 days. |

| Type | Twisted multifilament with a monofilament appearance |
|---|---|
| Composition | Strands of purified collagen taken from the serosal layer of selected bovines. Origin from BSE-free classified countries. |
| Coating | None |
| Colour | Ivory |
| Tissue reaction | Moderate |
| Absorption | By phagocytosis. Complete mass absorption in approximately 63 days. Approximately 50% of tensile strength remain after 7 days. When used in infected tissues or in tissues with increased levels of proteolytic enzymes (stomach, cervix, vagina) it is more quickly absorbed. |

| Type | Twisted multifilament with a monofilament appearance |
|---|---|
| Composition | Strands of purified collagen taken from the serosal layer of selected bovines, tanned with chrome salts. Origin from BSE-free classified countries. |
| Coating | None |
| Colour | Dark brown |
| Tissue reaction | Moderate |
| Absorption | By phagocytosis. The rate of absorption is slowed down by chromizing. Complete mass absorption in approximately 90 days. Approximately 50% of tensile strength remain after 14 days. When used in infected tissues or in tissues with increased levels of proteolytic enzymes (stomach, cervix, vagina) it is more quickly absorbed. |
