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.
