Braided and Coated Polyglactin 910 Fast Suture

Synthetic Absorbable Suture U.S.P (Sterilized Surgical Needled Suture)

Unisynth Fast-Braided and Coated Polyglactin 910 Fast is synthetic absorbable sterile surgical suture composed of a copolymer made from 90% glycolide and 10% L-lactide. In house needle manufacturing provides you the better needles with optimum sharpness which finally delivers smooth riding on tissues during suturing.

Indications:

Due to low molecular weight compared to the regular polyglactin 910 or polyglycolic acid suture, Unisynth fast sutures achieve rapid absorption in the tissues, it retains the tensile strength of about 50% of strength at 5days of implantation and are ideal for short term wound support. It is a much more superior alternative to catgut sutures since its absorption is more predictable, tensile strength is better and it exhibits little or no tissue reaction.

  • Properties: Good flexibility, Reliable knot security, Smooth passage through tissue provides no trauma, High tensile strength.
  • Unisynth Fast Suture are used in general surgery, gynecological, Gastro-intestinal tract surgery, ophthalmic procedures. It is not used for cardiovascular and neurological procedures.

FAQs

Question 1: What is Polyglactin 910 Fast Suture?

Answer: Polyglactin 910 Fast is a rapidly absorbing synthetic braided suture made from a glycolide and lactide copolymer. It is intended for wounds that heal quickly and need support for only a short period.

Question 2: How fast does Polyglactin 910 Fast absorb?

Answer: The suture provides wound support for approximately 10 to 14 days. It is generally completely absorbed through hydrolysis within about 35 to 42 days.

Question 3: What procedures may use Polyglactin 910 Fast?

Answer: It may be considered for short-term soft-tissue approximation in general, gynaecological, gastrointestinal and selected ophthalmic procedures. It should be used only where prolonged wound support is not required.

Question 4: How does the fast version differ from regular Polyglactin 910?

Answer: The fast version loses tensile strength and absorbs sooner than regular Polyglactin 910. Regular Polyglactin 910 is chosen when the wound needs support for a longer healing period.

Question 5: What sizes and packaging options are available?

Answer: Polyglactin 910 Fast is offered in multiple USP sizes with various needle configurations. It is supplied in sterile foil packaging and may be ordered with or without a needle, depending on the required specification.
