Information

Absorbable suture material is used if there is a medical indication for the suture to be absorbed into the tissues. The half-life has become the established criterion for distinguishing between absorbable suture materials. Depending on the indication, we can supply sutures in many different sizes, which are absorbed in the short-, medium- and long-term. Approximate absorption times of synthetic suture materials: Material Half-life Dissolution (days) (days) SERAPID® 5–7 30–42 SERAFIT® 15–20 60–90 SERAFAST® 8–13 90–120 SERASYNTH® 28–42 180–210
