Frequently asked questions

How long does this suture provide wound support?

  • 2 weeks: 80% strength
  • 4 weeks: 70% strength
  • 6 weeks: 60% strength
Is this suture suitable for slow-healing tissue?

Yes, it is specifically indicated for clinical applications that require prolonged support. The suture provides a predictable absorption profile, with complete mass absorption occurring within 183 to 238 days.

Does the monofilament design help reduce tissue trauma?

Each box contains 36 strands, and every individual strand comes equipped with a needle.

What is the length of each suture strand?

Each individual suture strand in this box is 27 inches in length.

Is this considered a synthetic suture?
