The suture boasts excellent biocompatibility and chemical stability. After completing its suturing task, it does not require a second surgery for removal. Instead, it gradually degrades within the body. The body ultimately eliminates it via metabolic pathways, including excretion through urine and sweat. This reduces the physiological load on patients and improves the overall comfort and safety of surgical procedures.

The product has passed multiple quality tests by domestic and international authoritative institutions and has been widely recognized and applied in clinical settings. Since its market launch in April this year, nearly 1 million meters of the product have been sold to customers in Egypt, India, Central Asia, and China.
