SURGICRYL\u00a0 rapid – The Product<\/strong><\/p>\n

Like SURGICRYL PGA, SURGICRYL rapid is prepared from polyglycolic acid. Again as with SURGICRYL PGA, the braided suture material is coated with a mixture composed of polycaprolactone and an amount of calcium stearate. Thus SURGICRYL rapid is similar to SURGICRYL PGA in handling, knotting, and method of absorption, predictability, minimal tissue reaction and tissue passage but differs in the following three features:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Initial tensile strength<\/li>\n
  2. Loss of tensile strength<\/li>\n
  3. Absorption<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \u00a0Description<\/strong><\/p>\n

    SURGICRYL rapid is a sterilised coated braided synthetic absorbable suture. The chemical structure of the basic suture material and coating is the same as that of SURGICRYL PGA.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    The material is available undyed (beige) in gauge sizes Metric 0.7 (6-0) to Metric 5 (USP 2) and in lengths from 45cm to 150cm, with needles attached.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    50% of original tensile strength remains after 5 days (providing 7 \u201310 days wound support) 0% of original tensile remains between 10 – 14 days when stitches should drop off.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

    As well as rapid loss of tensile strength, SURGICRYL rapid sutures are also eliminated quickly by the body, with the suture mate<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Sterilisation<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Sterilisation is by irradiationrial being totally absorbed by 42 days after implantatio<\/p>\n
