PROCESS FOR TREATING HYDROLYZABLE RESORBABLE SURGICAL SUTUREMATERIAL

摘要

In a process for treating hydrolyzable resorbable surgical suture material, in particular made of polyglactin, the surgical suture material is incubated in a hydrolysis buffer, having an index of pH in the range from 4 to 10, for a period in the range from 10 hours to 100 hours at a temperature in the range from 30.degree.C to 65.degree.C, in order to shorten the resorption period in viv o.
