Strands of purified collagen taken from the Serosal layer of selected bovines, tanned with chrome salts to provide Greater resistance to absorption.
Type : Twisted multifilament with a monofilament appearance
Material : None
Color : Dark brown
Tissue reaction : Moderate.
Absorption : By phagocytosis. The rate of absorption is slowed down by chromizing. Complete
mass absorption in approximately 90 days. Approximately 50% of tensile strengthÃÆââ¬Å¡
remains after 14 days. When used in infected tissues or in tissues with increasedÃÆââ¬Å¡
levels of proteolytic Enzymes (stomach, cervix, vagina) it is more quickly bsorbed.
Tensile Strength : Tensile strength is retained for 14 - 21 days.
