Properties:
- Retains approximately 50% of its original tensile strength during the first 6–8 days.
- Progressive loss of tensile strength occurs after day 17 following implantation.
- Complete absorption is typically achieved within 42 days.
Benefits:
- High initial tensile strength
- Predictable and consistent absorption profile
- Excellent knot security
- Superior handling characteristics
- Rapid mass absorption
