Does the collection include different absorbable materials?
The intended range includes polyglactin 910, poliglecaprone 25, polydioxanone and other specified products. Confirm the required polymer and full product specification before ordering.
Are VICRYL, MONOCRYL and PDS II equivalent?

How do I identify the correct product code?
Match the brand, material, absorbability, construction, USP size, colour, strand length, complete needle specification and pack quantity before confirming the manufacturer catalogue code.
