Atlas's Poliglecaprone 25 suture represents the forefront of monofilament synthetic absorbable surgical sutures, meticulously prepared from a copolymer of glycolide and epsilon-caprolactone. This innovative Poliglecaprone 25 copolymer is recognized for being non-antigenic, non-pyrogenic, and inducing only a minimal tissue reaction during its absorption process. It is an exceptional choice for a variety of surgical applications due to its reliable performance and advanced material composition.
| PROPERTY | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|
| Type | Monofilament |
| Material | Poliglecaprone 25, a copolymer made of 75% glycolide and 25% epsilon-caprolactone |
