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, monofilament, Polydioxanone synthetic absorbable suture. Provides extended wound support; maintains tensile strength for up to 6 weeks (75% at 14 days, 66% at 28 days and 53% at 42 days). Excellent handling with exceptional suppleness. Non-wicking material helps reduce bacterial migration along suture line. Use for general wound closure, orthopedic, and soft tissue repair including muscle, stomach, intestine, uterus, bladder and ligature. Absorption: 180 days.
