| Type | Twisted multifilament with a monofilament appearance | 
|---|---|
| Composition | Strands of purified collagen taken from the serosal layer of selected bovines, tanned with chrome salts. Origin from BSE-free classified countries. | 
| Coating | None | 
| Colour | 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 strength remain after 14 days. When used in infected tissues or in tissues with increased levels of proteolytic enzymes (stomach, cervix, vagina) it is more quickly absorbed. |
