Single strand mono-directional barb loop suture with single coating shield
The single strand mono-directional barb loop suture with single coating shield contains a repeating pattern of barbs along the lengths of the suture filaments forming a single-strand suture. Before and during use, one half of the single-strand suture is coated and the other half is non-coated. Once the suture is installed, the coating on the strand dissolves. The suture is shown with a symbolic break in its length. The appearance of any portion of the article between the break lines forms no part of the claimed design.
