Is the collagen thread soaked in alcohol before use?

Collagen threads are generally sterile and sealed, and do not need to be soaked in alcohol before use. If it has been opened for a long time, it is not recommended. Before use, it can also be soaked in physiological saline for a moment (about one minute) to soften it without reducing its tensile strength.

Collagen suture collagen accounts for 93%, elastin accounts for 3% and fat accounts for 4%. It is a natural molding material, which is made by biological principles. No chemical components are mixed in the production process, and it is an original ecological protein material.

About stitching

Medical suture is a common linear material, which is widely used to suture wounds and connect tissues in various surgical operations. With the continuous progress of science and technology, sewing materials have experienced four generations of development; The first generation is silk thread, the second generation is catgut thread, the third generation is chemical synthetic absorbable suture (PGA, PGLA, PLA), and the fourth generation is collagen absorbable suture.
