Stronger When It's Needed
Wounds are weakest during the first two weeks after surgery. Those first two weeks are critical to the healing process, and sutures provide the necessary strength to keep the wound closed. These sutures have a tightly woven outer structure and a twisted core composed of glycolide and lactide called Lactomer that retains tensile strength during the critical healing period, providing an optimal chance for the wound to heal properly and seamlessly. The coating on the sutures keeps them strong and flexible, reducing the chances of them breaking or popping.
