The surgical suture Neosorb Rapid (RPGLA) is a sterile synthetic multifilament absorbable surgical suture composed of a copolymer consisting of 90% glycolide and 10% L-lactide. Its rapid loss of strength is attributed to the lower molecular weight and irradiated nature of the suture. It is available colorless in various diameters and lengths, adapted to high-quality medical-grade stainless steel needles.

Application & Performance

The synthetic absorbable surgical suture Neosorb Rapid (RPGLA) is selected based on the patient's condition and surgical technique. After implantation, it causes a mild inflammatory tissue reaction, followed by the formation of a fibrous tissue capsule. It is degraded through hydrolysis into glycolic and lactic acid with a gradual decrease in strength until it is completely absorbed.

Advantages:

• smooth passage through tissue
• high knot tensile strength
• knot security
• minimized tissue reaction
• flexibility and easy handling
• high tensile strength
• no need for removal session
• virtually zero material memory
• short absorption time
• complete biocompatibility
