FILAPRON AB(TM) is a sterile synthetic absorbable monofilament suture composed of poly (glycolide-co-caprolactone).

A prospective, single-arm, open-label, multi-centre, observational, post-market clinical follow-up study to investigate the triclosan-resistant pathogenic colonization on FILAPRON AB(TM) Absorbable Poly (glycolide-co-caprolactone) Surgical Suture U.S.P in a real-world setting. - NIL
