Key Features:
Composition: Crafted from purified connective tissue (collagen) derived from the sub-mucous layer of sheep or bovine intestine.
Structure: Twisted monofilament construction, providing a smooth surface for easy tissue passage.
Coating: Treated with chromium salts (chromic), resulting in a tanned brown color, which prolongs the suture’s absorption time and enhances tensile strength.
Tensile Strength: Maintains effective strength for approximately 21-30 days post-implantation, offering reliable support during the critical wound healing phase.
Absorption: The suture is absorbed through proteolytic enzymatic digestion, with complete absorption typically occurring between 60-90 days.
