ADVACRYL RAPID

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:

Premium Needles for consistent Superior Performance

  • DURABLE COAT RETAINS SHARPNESS…PASS AFTER PASS

    Maintains needle sharpness over the duration of procedure, resulting into consistent penetration pass after pass thus less potential for tissue trauma.

  • RIBBED BODY FOR SUPERIOR CONTROL

    For superior grasping and stability of needle in needle forceps.

  • CHAMFERING MINIMUM SUTURE DETACHMENT

    Diminishes chances for suture fracturing at the swage, by rounding off the sharp edges of the barrel in the swage area of the needle.

  • ELECTROPOLISHING SMOOTH & BRIGHT

    Makes needle surface free from micro asperities, thus creates ultra sharp edges for lesser tissue drag.

Robust manufacturing process & superior primary aluminum packaging

  • 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.
