FEATURES
PGLA Rapid suture is a synthetic absorbable sterile surgical suture
The copolymers used in this product have been found to be non-antigenic, non-pyrogenic and elicit only a mild tissue reaction during absorption
The retention strength of PGLA Rapid is about 45% of the initial strength after 7 days
The absorption of PGLA Rapid is essentially complete by 42 days
Coated PGLA Rapid suture is a synthetic absorbable sterile surgical suture composed of a copolymer made from 90% glycolide and 10% L-lactide. The characteristic rapid loss of strength is achieved by use of a polymer material with a lower molecular weight than regular PGLA (polyglactin 910) suture.
