Lactomer is a braided suture composed of polymers of glycolide and lactide. It is coated with ε‐caprolactone glycolide and calcium stearoyl lactylate to improve handling properties. Lactomer retains 80% of its tensile strength at 2 weeks and 30% at 3 weeks with complete absorption between 56 and 70 days.
