When PEGELAK sutures are placed in a living organism, they are absorbed by that organism and do not cause excessive tissue irritation. The mixture of copolymer and calcium citrate is non-antigen and non-pyrogenic, and minimal tissue reaction may occur during absorption. Sutures were stained with purple (D&C Violet No.2 (CI # 60725)) to provide tissue vision. In addition, unpainted versions are also available.
