How long does this suture provide wound support?
Polysorb sutures are engineered to provide consistent wound support for up to three weeks, ensuring the area remains stable during the critical early stages of the healing process.
How long does the material take to absorb?
The suture features a predictable mass absorption profile, typically occurring via hydrolysis over a period of 50 to 90 days.
Is this suture easy to pass through tissue?
Yes, it features a tight, braided construction treated to have a low coefficient of friction. This design ensures smooth passage through tissue, which significantly minimizes irritation and mechanical trauma during application.
Is this product sterile upon arrival?
