CHEMICAL NAME:
[poly (glycolic acid-co-ɛ-caprolactone)]

Metabolization of the polymer suture within the tissue occurs by the uptake of water, thus reversing the synthesis.
Tissue reaction is minimal because of the completely safe intermediary products and the monofilament structure of thread.

GLYCOLON™ has a smooth surface providing good handling properties and very good passage through tissue.
Tissue traumatization is minimal and there is no undesirable wick effect due to the monofilament structure of GLYCOLON™.

It is indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, but not for use in cardiovascular or
neurological tissues, microsurgery or ophthalmic surgery.

GLYCOLONTM is supplied undyed or violet.
