Product details

Features:

• for veterinary use only

• color: violet

• sizes: USP3/0, USP2/0, USP0, USP1, USP2, USP3&4, USP5, USP6

• composition: polyglycolic acid coated with a layer of polycaprolactone and calcium stearate (1%)

• high tensile strength • synthetic • coated multifilament

• breaks down by hydrolysis. The hydrolytic action by which the material breaks down results in complete absorption in approximately 60 to 90 days. Approximately 50% of the tensile strength remains after 21 days.

• Excellent tissue support

• Minimal tissue reaction

• Predictable absorption rate

• Excellent handling properties

• High flexibility

• High tensile strength

• Excellent knot security

• Smooth passage through tissue with minimal cutting, tissue drag and trauma

• Good knot tying / adjustment

• Low capillarity

Indications:

• General soft tissue approximation and/or ligation

• General surgery • Skin closure

• Gastrointestinal surgery

• Obstetrics and Gynecology

• Plastic Surgery

• Urology

• Ophthalmic surgery

• Orthopedics

Contraindications:
