Provides protection against colonization of the suture by bacteria commonly associated with SSIs, including Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Methicillinesistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Methicillinesistant Staphylococcus epidermidis (MRSE)
Its multifilament design provides greater pliability than monofilament sutures and unsurpassed knot security
Proprietary suture coating lowers tissue drag compared with standard braided sutures and ensures easy knot sliding and knot positioning
Hydrolytic process elicits only a slight tissue reaction during absorption.
