Prepared from a synthetic polyester Polyglytone 6211, composed of glycolide, caprolactone, trimethylene carbonate and lactide. The advanced extrusion process of the molecule of Polyglytone 6211 gives the suture strong and secure wound approximation during the critical wound healing period; preditable absorption profile; excellent knot security; excellent handling. For use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, but not for use in cardiovascular or neurological surgery, microsurgery or ophthalmic surgery.
