It is generally used for soft-tissue approximation and ligation.t 1 week, its in vivo tensile strength is at 50-60% undyed (60-70% dyed), at 2 weeks its 20-30% undyed (30-40% dyed), and is essentially completely hydrolyzed by 91â119 days. When removed from the package, it has a high degree of memory, or coil.
