Technology and Performance

The synthetic polyglactin 910 composition allows these sutures to retain approximately 50% of tensile strength at 21 days, promoting effective wound support during critical healing phases. Its undyed nature reduces inflammatory response, making it ideal for sensitive procedures requiring minimal tissue irritation. The 18-inch length ensures ample suturing material for various surgical needs, while the coated design enhances knot tie-down and minimizes fraying. Ethicon’s commitment to quality ensures consistent performance and reliability in critical surgical environments.
