Absorbable Surgical Suture is a sterile, flexible strand prepared from collagen derived from healthy mammals or from a synthetic polymer. Suture prepared from synthetic polymer may be in either monofilament or multifilament form. It is capable of being absorbed by living mammalian tissue, but may be treated to modify its resistance to absorption. Its diameter and tensile strength correspond to the size designation indicated on the label, within the limits prescribed herein. It may be modified with respect to body or texture. It may be impregnated or treated with a suitable coating, softening, or antimicrobial agent. It may be colored by a color additive approved by the FDA. The collagen suture is designated as either Plain Suture or Chromic Suture. Both types consist of processed strands of collagen, but Chromic Suture is processed by physical or chemical means so as to provide greater resistance to absorption in living mammalian tissue.
