This category includes multifilament polyester sutures designed to temporarily hold together soft-tissue wounds or incisions. Their antimicrobial coating helps reduce bacterial growth at the wound site while they provide structural support during the early healing phase, before being naturally absorbed by the body through hydrolysis.
These sutures are single-use devices, typically supplied pre-attached to a disposable needle or passer for easy application. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are generally classified based on their antimicrobial properties and intended use, ensuring compliance with medical device standards for absorbable and antimicrobial materials.
