Type                          Braided and coated multifilament
Composition               Polyglycolic acid
Coating                      Polycaprolactone and calcium stearate (1%)
Colour                        Violet / Beige - undyed
Tissue reaction          Minimal
Absorption                 The hydrolytic action by which the material is
                                 broken down results in total absorption in
                                 approximately 60 to 90 days. Approximately
                                 50% of tensile strength remain after 21 days.
