This suture is designed for controlled absorption and provides consistent strength throughout the healing process:
- Two weeks: Retains 50% of tensile strength.
- Three weeks: Retains 20% of tensile strength.
Is this product safe for patients with latex allergies?
Yes, this product is not made with natural rubber latex, making it a safe choice for clinical environments where latex sensitivity is a concern.

Is this suture suitable for general surgical use?
Yes, it is ideal for general wound closure in clinical and surgical settings where high-tensile strength and predictable absorption are required.
What type of needle is included with this suture?
Each strand comes attached to a GS-22 1/2 circle taper point needle. The needle is 27 mm in length and crafted from high-quality alloy for precise placement.
Is the suture material absorbable?
