Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9620648A1] A process for producing an absorbable biocompatible medical suture yarn (21) includes the step of spin drawing a bioabsorbable polymer to form suture filaments (19). A spin finish using a non-aqueous based carrier is applied to the filaments (19) during processing, and an air entangling step is used after the filaments (19) are combined to form the suture yarn (21).
