Technology for the production of soluble surgical threads with a diameter of 0.3 mm from the binary alloy Zn-0.008 wt.% Mg has been developed and some of the basic properties of the product have been determined. Thus, an effect of the deformation path applied during drawing (i.e., with and without a...
