Performance and Absorption

The 1627H is an absorbable suture that loses tensile strength through enzymatic digestion. 

 

  • Absorption Rate: Complete absorption is expected within approximately 70 days.
  • Strength Retention: Plain gut sutures generally lose most tensile strength within 1 to 3 weeks, making them suitable for tissues that heal rapidly.

Ethicon specifies the following uses and limitations for this product:

  • Primary Use: Indicated for general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation.

  • Usage Warnings: May be inappropriate for patients with delayed wound healing (e.g., elderly or malnourished) due to its rapid absorption profile.
