ABSTRACT:
A process for manufacturing polyamide monofilament suture includes the steps of extruding a polyamide resin, stretching the solidified monofilament and annealing the stretched monofilament so that it shrinks to within about 80 to about 97 percent of the length of the monofilament prior to annealing. The polyamide monofilament sutures so produced exhibit reduced energy compared to conventional polyamide monofilament sutures.
