ICF MEDI-Sorb is also part of ICF’s medical product line, and made from resorbable yarns that are typically composed of polymers such as PGA (polyglycolic acid), PGLA (polyglycolic acid-co-l-lactic acid), PLLA (Poly-L-lactic acid) and PCL (polycaprolactone).

These materials offer controlled degradation rates, allowing the yarn to maintain mechanical integrity during tissue healing while gradually breaking down into biocompatible products. The controlled absorption of these yarns is crucial in applications such as medical sutures, where temporary structural support is needed before the material is naturally absorbed by the body.

Medi-Sorb characteristics:

Available in FDY or FDY Twisted

Count Range: from 30 to 400 den

Twist level available from 2.5 to 18 TPI
