Composed of co-polymers, made from 90% Poly Glycolide and 10% L-lactide, VITACRYL GLACTIN 910 suture is an absorbable, braided synthetic fibre, which is available in a plain (uncoated) as well as coated format. These sutures are non-antigenic and non-pyrogenic, hence elicit only mild tissue reactivity during the absorption process.
