DemeTech’s Rapid Absorbable suture is a synthetic, absorbable, sterile, surgical suture composed of copolymers made from 90% glycolide and 10% L-lactide. DemeTech’s Rapid Absorbable has been found to be nonantigenic, eliciting only minimal tissue reactivity during the absorption process.
- The absorption time for Rapid Absorbable is 42 to 56 days. DemeTech’s Rapid Absorbable sutures are available violet and colorless.
- DemeTech’s Rapid Absorbable sutures give the best characteristics of both natural and synthetic sutures, allowing for the low infection rate of a synthetic suture, while providing the quick absorption and high tensile strength of collagen sutures (catguts).
- Rapid Absorbable is coated to allow for smooth passage through tissue.
- Clinical trials have shown that after 5 days post implantation, 50% of DemeTech’s Rapid absorbable initial strength remained.
