The nets of polycaproamide removed from rabbits after implantation for times up to 400 days showed a significant change in mass and in molecular weight. The degradation of polycaproamide filaments takes place both on the surface (change of mass) and in the bulk of the polymer implant (change in the molecular weight). The role of phosphates and the enzymes in the polymer degradation are discussed.
