Twisted multifilament with a monofilament appearance
Composition
Strands of purified collagen taken from the serosal layer of selected bovines, tanned with chrome salts. Origin from BSE-free classified countries.
Coating
None
Colour
Dark brown
Tissue reaction
Moderate
Absorption
By phagocytosis. The rate of absorption is slowed down by chromizing. Complete mass absorption in approximately 90 days. Approximately 50% of tensile strength remain after 14 days. When used in infected tissues or in tissues with increased levels of proteolytic enzymes (stomach, cervix, vagina) it is more quickly absorbed.

Absorption
By phagocytosis. Complete mass absorption in approximately 63 days. Approximately 50% of tensile strength remain after 7 days. When used in infected tissues or in tissues with increased levels of proteolytic enzymes (stomach, cervix, vagina) it is more quickly absorbed.
Polyglactine 910, a copolymer made of 90% glycolide and 10%L-lactide
Coating
Poly-glycolide-co-L-lactide and calcium stearate (<1%)
Colour
Violet
Tissue reaction
Minimal
Absorption
The hydrolytic action by which the material is broken down results in total absorption between 56 and 70 days. Approximately 50% of tensile strength remain after 21 days.
