The suture is braided and coated with a blend of polycaprolactone and calcium stearate to enhance its smoothness within tissues and reduce friction. It is also dyed purple with D\u0026C Violet No. 2 for easy visibility during procedures. Absorption begins with a gradual loss of tensile strength, followed by mass loss, and is usually complete within 75 to 90 days post-implantation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMain Benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbsorbable synthetic material for veterinary use\u003cbr\u003eCoated for easy handling and reduced tissue friction\u003cbr\u003eLow tissue reaction and limited capillarity\u003cbr\u003eExcellent tensile strength retention during the early wound healing phase\u003cbr\u003ePurple dye enhances visibility during placement\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch2\u003eComposition\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBraided polyglycolic acid (100%) suture\u003cbr\u003eCoating: Polycaprolactone and calcium stearate\u003cbr\u003eDyed with D\u0026C Violet No. 2\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstructions for Use\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntended for the approximation and ligation of general soft tissues in veterinary surgery, including muscles, aponeuroses, and ophthalmic surgery.
