In a process for treating hydrolyzable resorbable surgical suturenmaterial, in particular made of polyglactin, the surgicalnsuture material is incubated in a hydrolysis buffer, having annindex of pH in the range from 4 to 10, for a period in the rangenfrom 10 hours to 100 hours at a temperature in the range fromn30°C to 65°C, in order to shorten the resorption period in vivo. |
