Defining the physical structure and properties in novel monofilaments with potential for use as absorbable surgical sutures based on a lactide containing block terpolymer

Monofilaments of a block terpolymer of l-lactide, ε-caprolactone and glycolide have been melt spun for potential use as absorbable surgical sutures. As-spun fibres of the terpolymers produced by melt spinning were elastic, amorphous and isotropic. A two-stage process involving hot drawing was employ...
