ECOSORB

ECOSORB®
Is a braided synthetic absorbable suture that is made of Poly(Glycolide-co-lactide). The braided threads are coated with Glacomer 37 and calcium stearate so that they glide easily but remain firm when knotting without causing a sawing effect. Poly(Glycolide-co-lactide) gives an excellent knot security and tensile strength as well ease of handling.
