    Description: Adsorbable biological suture material. Plain is an adsorbable suture made by twisting together strands of purified collagen taken from bovine intestines. The natural plain thread is precision ground in order to achieve a monofilament character and treated with a glycerol containing solution. Plain is absorbed by enzymatic degradation.

    Poly(glycolide-co-trimethylene carbonate) is a commercial monofilament used for suture with slow biodegradation rate which allows maintenance of high mechanical strength compatible with the surgical recovery. [9] Poly(caprolactone-co-trimethylene carbonate) has been proposed as biomaterial for conduits in the regeneration of central nervous system.
