Coated, braided synthetic absorbable sutures are composed of the homopolymer of glycolic acid and coated with polycaprolate, a copolymer of caprolactone and glycolide.
The advanced manufacturing process of the molecule of polyglycolic acid and the coating with polycaprolate give the suture:
DEXON II sutures are indicated for use in soft tissue approximations or ligation including use in ophthalmic procedures, but not for use in cardiovascular tissue and/or neural tissue.
