Absorbable suture?
The degradation rate of a suture is measured in strength vs. half-life, and a 5-day indication means that at least 50% of the tensile strength remains after 5 days. The actual time it takes for the suture to be completely dissolved is often much longer.
The time indications below are thus the half-life.
