Poliglecaprone 25 is a monofilament absorbable suture composed of segmented block copolymers of ε‐caprolactone and glycolide (Bezwada et al. 1995). Soft segments of ε‐caprolactone and glycolide contribute to favorable handling characteristics and hard segments of polyglycolide contribute to tensile strength. Poliglecaprone 25 is one of the strongest absorbable sutures, although it rapidly weakens after implantation (Tan et al. 2003). Tensile strength of 20–30% is maintained at 2 weeks and complete absorption occurs between 90 and 100 days (Bezwada et al. 1995; Roush 2003).
