VENACRYL 910
Polyglactin 910 is made of a Poly (Glycolic-co-l-lactic) 90-10 and covered in Poly (Glycolic-co-l-lactic) 30 -70 of Calcium Stearate.
It is degraded by Chemical Hydrolysis, that later is absorbed and metabolized by the human body. The absorption process is followed by a mass loss and fully absorbed in 90 days.
It is available in violet color and sterilized
Type: Braided and coated multi
Composition: 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. Between 40% and 50% of tensile strength remain after 21 days.
