DEMETECH DEMEQUICK ABSORBABLE MULTIFILAMENT 3.0 26DS 70CM P NEEDLE

Description

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. Due to a lower
molecular weight, relative to DemeTech's PGA or Polyglactin 910, DemeTech's Rapid Absorbable is able
to achieve a faster absorption period than other synthetic absorbable sutures. 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. At 10-14 days post implantation, approximately 0% of DemeTech's Rapid Absorbable
  linear tensile strength remained
