ADVACRYL Rapid is a braided synthetic absorbable sterile surgical suture composed of a copolymer made from 90% glycolide and 10% L-lactide. The advanced extrusion process of copolymer, the exclusive braiding process and coating system, gives ADVACRYL Rapid:
With great versatility comes the confidence to meet specific needs
- ADVACRYL RAPID is a braided synthetic absorbable sterile surgical suture composed of a copolymer made from 90% glycolide and 10% L-lactide.
- ADVACRYL RAPID in comparison to ADVACRYL has a rapid loss of strength and absorption rate. The characteristic rapid loss of strength is achieved by use of a polymer material with a lower molecular weight than regular ADVACRYL (polyglactin 910) suture.
- ADVACRYL RAPID is intended for use in general soft tissue approximation where only short-term wound support is required and where the rapid absorption of the suture would be beneficial. Due to its absorption profile ADVACRYL RAPID suture is useful for skin closure, particularly in paediatric surgery, episiotomies, circumcision and closure of oral mucosa. It is also successfully used in ophthalmic surgery for conjunctival sutures.
*Mass Absorption: Time in days required for suture to be totally absorbed in the body.
ADVACRYL suture complies with United States Pharmacopeia requirement for “Absorbable Surgical Suture” and the European Pharmacopoeia for “Sterile Synthetic Absorbable Braided Sutures”.
Features & Benefits
40% more knot pull tensile strength Vs. in-house limit | Ensures excellent support throughout the critical wound healing period |
Superior swage point integrity | Advanced tipping ensures minimal suture detachment at the swage point |
Tighter Braided Construction | Smoother suture surface for minimal tissue drag & trauma and lesser chances of bacterial colonization |
Excellent Handling Characteristics | Superior first throw hold, easy knot-repositioning and excellent knot security & lesser knot slippage |
Robust manufacturing process & superior primary aluminium packaging | Least moisture content in the suture foil ensures strength & long-term sterility throughout shelf life |
