A racetrack-wound design gives the suture fewer turns around the track and allows for less memory in the suture, making wound closure faster, easier and more efficient. Violet, synthetic, absorbable, monofilament sutures made of Polyglycolide-Cocaprolactone (PGCL). Excellent substitute for Chromic Gut as provides more predictable absorption and less tissue reaction. Excellent handling with exceptional suppleness. Great knot security. Use for soft tissue repair, subcuticular closure, GI and spay/neuter. Provides short-term wound support – 70% at 7 days; 40% at 14 days; 12% at 21 days. Absorption: 90-120 days.
